Exploration of masculinity begins with the Minotaur, a mythical creature Picasso used to portray himself in his etching print series. The Minotaur goes through a violent struggle between being male and female. Finally, lines blur and boundaries of sexes disappear.

Director Statement
The inspiration came when I was going through Picasso’s “Vollard Suite”, an etching series of 100 prints produced from 1930 till 1937. The artwork reflects Picasso's erotic and artistic obsessions through the Minotaur, a hybrid creature who is violent, cruel, and lacks control of his outbursting masculinity. The constant depiction of the Minotaur devouring women that appeared in the prints gave me an unsettling curiosity about the mindset of this self-observant, confident, yet disruptive male artist. He represented all that I don’t have, the masculinity, self-confidence, and social acceptance to express his sexual obsessions and turbulent relationships through artwork. I envied the power and acceptance Picasso had, but at the same time was very disturbed by the toxic masculinity and misogyny that were so prevalent in his artwork and love life.
