“Boys Will Be Boys” features human bodies in their purest forms- naked, vulnerable and integrated into nature. According to the artist’s rationale, “the work seeks to create a non-sexualised and open-minded representation of humankind, which is based on a dream of acceptance”.

But there is another layer to the work: “With a humorous and experimental approach, [AdeY] seeks to highlight our vulnerability, loneliness, and strengths, whilst capturing those little moments of social oppression, isolation, anxiety, and depression that appear to play a central role in the human condition”.
