\u201cEvery type of body is beautiful, and more importantly every type of body is different,\u201d says artist<\/a> Veer Mishra while describing Body,<\/em> his series of illustrations. <\/em>This \u2018difference\u2019 is the essence of what he tries to portray through his art\u2013 that there cannot be one single ideal of physical beauty or desirability, that bodies are diverse and so are the narratives around them.\u00a0 Everyone experiences their body differently; everyone sees<\/em> their own bodies differently. For men, like people of any other gender, the consequences of this diversity not being acknowledged can be deeply damaging, and so, it is important to document their alienation, their pain, and their journeys towards self-acceptance with respect to their bodies. Only then can the socially approved \u2018ideal\u2019 be challenged.<\/p>\n
