Adam Lin's series Sonder portrays masculinity through intimate family interactions in Taiwan and the UK, revealing insights into cultural expectations around home and connection. Lin's work highlights how domestic environments carry historical and emotional significance often overlooked in discussions of masculinity. With a focus on intimacy, family, and cross-cultural identities, Lin merges fiction and documentary photography, challenging traditional notions that associate masculinity with external spaces. His innovative approach invites viewers to reconsider the way they perceive male relationships within the context of personal and familial spaces.
"Sonder explores masculinity through the lens of domesticity, examining not only how men interact with one another but also their relationships with the spaces and objects around them."
"The family home is a site rich with memories and cultural heritage, filled with traces of the past and deeply personal in its organisation and spirit."
"By centring masculinity within domestic settings, I wanted to challenge this binary of masculinity being limited to public spaces like workplaces and sports fields."
"I have been refining my visual language, which blurs the boundaries between portraiture, fashion, and documentary photography, not just to capture reality but to collaborate with the family members."
