Introductory page of photography project titled "Tender Chores". Page depicts printed photos of my grandfather and great-grandfather glued onto "childish" coloured pencil drawings. Page has a brief concept description in the middle.

Pages scanned and pieced together in Photoshop.

The name "Tender Chores" comes from mindsed of rural, traditional men of communist Poland (my grandfathers and great-grandfathers) which included: sustaining masculine etiquette, committing to hard, physical work, and not displaying emotions as a fear of appearing "weak".

Although the times of compulsory masculinity partially has passed and our values differ, the love for our father figures is delicate, tender and in plain sight.
