Meeting in a seedy, dim subway station as a train approaches in the distance, neither man has time for small talk, they simply want to let off some steam.
I initially set out to create a piece commemorating the 75th anniversary of the men's brief, but as the concept developed, my imagination took a much edgier turn. Metro Sexual explores a gritty, spontaneous encounter born from the exhaustion of a long workday and a tedious commute. It brings together two different worlds in a parallel moment of raw desire, featuring a blue-collar construction worker in a tank top and baseball cap alongside a white-collar stock trader.
