Men are often glorified for their hypermasculinity — their physical strength and aggression. This is especially and unfortunately true in America. However, there are many soft and nurturing elements to men that we should celebrate earlier on in their lives. These elements help make them good fathers. The following watercolor paintings by artist Snezhana Soosh depict the special relationship between fathers and their daughters. In these illustrations, large hands and bodies grow gentle to cater to their little girls, and it’s beautiful. Soosh reminds us that it doesn’t matter what gender you are — love is always a tender thing.
