I grew up hearing that a man shouldn't cry, that sadness was something to be overcome in silence, without showing fissures. But that never worked for me. I tried - like many - and the result was a body that learned to contain, to tense up, to pretend.
Today I look at this drawing and I recognise myself. Not because of the exact expression, but because of what is intuited: the possibility of being broken without ceasing to be a man. Fragility does not cancel out strength. Sensitivity does not erase masculinity. To inhabit this contradiction without having to explain it is, perhaps, a form of resistance.
This sad man does not act. He does not protect himself from the gaze. And in this there is a truth that moves me more than any discourse. Because it shows what we so often hide: that we also feel. That we also hurt.
