1. Cindy Sherman Untitled #122, 1983
2. Maison Martin Margiela Spring/Summer 2009

2. Pablo González-Trejo Brent, 2008
3. Erik Olson Brad, 2011
4. Raf Simons Casting Video Fall/Winter 2006

Pomegranate Cowboy

Artworks Graham Durward

The naked male body accessorized with a single object. Posing in established manners of online dating profiles. The fruit and the cowboy hat - implicating the personae's true self. So the question is: What kind of person is he?
