Becoming a Man | The body changes, so do the desires. The body becomes more robust and above all it becomes an asset of seduction. Becoming a man is a series that I did for a few months with my little brother who becomes more and more adult as soon as I see him again.

Adolescence is the age of confrontation, it's the age of rebellion. Tom, only wishes to become an adventurer. Lulled by the novels of Jules Vernes and more recently by the expeditions of Mike Horn, he never stops wanting to sculpt a body and an image that his heroes send back to him.

At a time of identification and loss of certain points of reference, nature and adventure remain for Tom an escape route, an environment where he can be himself, without feeling out of step with people his own age. To be 16 today is to seek digital socialization, to debate digitally, to stay hours behind a screen to live shared adventures live on the networks. Testimony of a pivotal period, the identity path of a young man in the making. www.hugohenry.work
