Ruler of Strength - ہارون خان For my series “The Softness of Men” - All image titles are my poetic translation of the Urdu name(s) of the people appearing in the image. Haroon Khan posing after his bath. Muscles may contract in front of the camera, the chest puffs up... is this the ego playing tricks? The attempt to look strong exposes something much deeper, a vulnerability, a beautiful strength. Looking closely, the men soften, answering to an earlier stage of innocence, of unconditional love, when they once sat on the lap of their mothers.
