This photo-narrative series explores the concept of new masculinities with a connection to nature as a way to embrace it and feel self-love. The male figure represented by Joan flows with the nature and weather conditions, holding the wind, the coldness, the water, and the sun, like engine machines that provoke a self-loving act. There is a purifying and strengthening effect on the subject like a spiritual and religious baptism ritual. These images were taken on a very cold and windy day in a natural pool, on the coast of Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. This is the second work with Joan, who is one of the past winners of Mister Canarias Online, a beauty contest with an inclusive approach. The message conveyed is to love ourselves, and embrace everything that makes us different, at the end of the day, we will realize that this diversity is what makes us special and unique. Seigar’s last interest is focused on identity, everything that defines us.
