“Mangina” is a series that looks at gender roles in society. It questions men’s role in the world and the expectations that society places on men in today’s world of blurred guidelines. In this work I have used glass and steel. Steel is used to support glass in the world around us and is seen as the foundation to any construction using these materials. Steel is usually given masculine traits – “man of steel” While glass is fragile, glitzy. In my work the steel represents the feminine and the glass the masculine to challenge gender stereotypes.
