Muscle Man, Sophia Reed

How can we change limiting narratives of the past that impact our present? How do these subliminal messages of what a body should be challenge our potential difference? This "Muscle Man" is torn apart limb by limb, only to be rearranged to tell a story of the impact of violence and masculinity on our daily lives. He is crushed by the revolving sword, a cycle of destruction that traps him. Only at his exhaustion does his arm exit the spiraling plane, a small glimpse of hope toward something different.
