Through a sequence of evocative images, this editorial commissioned by L’Officiel Italia investigates the tension between two states of being. On one side, the structured and authoritative exterior shaped by societal demands. On the other, the unguarded and playful spirit that surfaces once those pressures fade. Movement, light, and texture were employed as narrative devices to reveal this shift, creating a story that feels both intimate and universal in its portrayal of modern masculinity.
