This work represent a situation where a lot of people still think that toxic masculinity is an issue that not have a deep meaning. This is what makes many people ignore it even though toxic masculinity is something that needs to be eliminated, because men have the right to do whatever they want and have the right to express whatever they feel without being ridiculed by others.
Dhea Eka Syafitri
This work is dedicated to all men who are always stressed to behave in a certain way. Many think that men must show strength, power, and abstain from expressing emotions. Basically, masculine is a good characteristic. However, this becomes toxic or misguided when men are required to have and show masculinity in order to avoid the stigma of “weak men”.
like an example of a situation in a comic that I made, showing that men must be able to play football if they want to be said to be a complete man. in fact, being masculine is not a type of sport that must be mastered. have a gentle, friendly, or sensitive nature, and there is nothing wrong with men.

We made this picture to represent Asian people and people whose skin is black because there is still a lot of racism going on against these people. Nobody should be raised rejecting some other individual because of his or her skin color, ethnicity, or faith.
They can be taught to love, for love comes more easily to the human soul than evil.

This project is shown to people who are still racist towards foreigners or as many of us known in United State, many people are treated unfairlt in terms of religion and skin color.
everyone should respect each other. differences in race, skin color, and religion make us separate, it would be better if we can respect each other for a better life.

This work represents how the gender role stigma is still lingering in society, some activities are still associated with only one gender, for instance, house chores are only for women. I think this stigma needs to be eliminated and I want to share the awareness about house chores are not meant only for women.
So that is why I created the comic strip that brings the topic about this issue. I have struggled so much while doing this work of mine, although my work looks simple, it is actually through many processes. First, I drew the sketch using a pencil. Third, I started coloring, but at this stage, I faced one big problem, the watercolor paper that I used is still had no ability to hold the big amount of watercolor, so I need to retrace it to another better watercolor paper to make a better result. All the stages that I mentioned before consumed a lot of time, gladly I still can make it on time. About the tools that I used, I used two sheets of watercolor paper sized 310×230 mm, basically, it is just a few bigger than A3 size paper. For coloring, I used watercolor paint from Paul Rubens brand that is my favorite. So, this work values a lot for me.
