In Divining Masculinity, I seek to unravel the layered complexities of manhood by engaging with the cultural norms that so often attempt to define it. These societal frameworks become both material and mirror—means to deconstruct rigid stereotypes and offer a more compassionate, human vision.

Through self-portraiture and symbolic imagery, I reflect on my own journey while raising broader questions shaped by faith: What does it mean to be created in the image of God? Guided by the example of sacrificial love—where true strength is revealed through humility and loss—this work invites vulnerability, introspection, and a reimagining of strength itself.

Rather than discarding traditional paradigms, I transform them, allowing new possibilities to emerge from within. Divining Masculinity ultimately becomes both a prayer and a provocation: a call to see masculinity not as constraint, but as a living, grace-filled invitation to authenticity, mercy, and deeper communion.
