Fefe Submission

So, a magazine in Italy called Fefe (www.fefeproject.com) invited me to contribute art for their forthcoming magazine issue based around the theme - "Who said that we have to be strong?". So, attached is my submission. And here's a little note on what it means -

----

"Who says we have to be strong? Who says we cannot hide? Who says we need to show the world we are not alone? A beard is like a mask, a metaphor. The bigger the mask, the stronger the metaphor, the symbol. Finally it all comes down to identity and if that can be used as a means to cover one's fears and weaknesses, why not?"
