From series "Mountain of a ?" which takes a close examination at body image, fitness and visual representation through the medium of portraiture. My experience of bodybuilding has allowed me to discover potentials of my body outside of the rigid gender norms and cultural stereotypes. I attempt to create a similar space with photography: a space where I and my subjects feel free to explore ways which we’d like to be represented, and propose a body image that is negotiated in our own terms.
