The Power in femininity

This collection is a deconstruction of the relationship between masculinity and power. Examining how the construction of fragile masculinity effects those in power. Power is defined by ‘the capacity or ability to directly influence the behaviour of others or the course of events’ Power is protected by a facade of characteristics associated with masculinity whilst denying the characteristics associated with femininity. As gender norms are being blurred and the concept of ‘toxic masculinity’ is being questioned.
