Powder Room Guys documents the performative freedoms that men from various social positions negotiate within the domestic bathroom.

Why this site? The bathroom, culturally coded as feminine space, remains critically underexamined in representations of masculinity. The bathroom functions as a zone where corporeal expression temporarily suspends normative masculine performance—a threshold space where gendered binaries blur and intermingle. The very term "powder room," with its genteel, feminized connotations, signals this semantic instability.

The work intervenes in these gendered conventions, proposing a recalibration of how bodies and identities inhabit domestic ritual. Powder Room Guys extends the artist's sustained investigation into the social construction of gender.
