Luiz V., body, 2017

In this black-and-white photograph by Duda Breda, a nude male figure stands against a stark backdrop, his arms extended overhead in a gesture that speaks to both liberation and aspiration. The carefully directed lighting sculpts each contour of his physique, underscoring the muscular tension across his abdomen and legs.

This poised stance underscores the artist’s investigation into heteronormative ideals—juxtaposing a classical sense of virility with the subject’s subtle introspection.

By isolating the figure within a dark, minimalist environment, Breda invites viewers to reflect on the layered complexities of masculine identity, caught between societal expectations and the desire for personal authenticity.
