First edition of Something Was Missing Within by Elliott Kreyenberg. First impression. Medium format softback in new condition. About “Patriarch demands of men to become and remain emotional cripples.“- bell hooks Something Was Missing Within explores the emotional detachment at the heart of traditional stereotypes of masculinity. From an early age, boys are taught to be strong - to suppress vulnerability and sensitivity. Over time, this denial of emotional depth becomes a missing part within. It seems that the test of manhood lies in the willingness to accept this loss and remain silent about it. The work reflects on how this absence shapes identity, intimacy, and connection of men.
