STATEMENT
Wallflower, an ongoing and evolving series of male portraits, is an exploration into the other. With a strong interest in psychology, Elkins has turned specifically to the psychology of the opposite sex. Elkins investigates and confronts some of the cultural grounds underlying gender, opting to focus on the beauty, sensitivity and vulnerabilities found in a sex that has long been held to masculine expectations and stereotypes.
