Sophie Strand might define 'men's work' as an evolving concept rooted in a blend of traditional roles and the nuanced complexities of the modern era. She explores it as more than labor or responsibility; it’s an invitation to engage in a compassionate and authentic unraveling of patriarchal constructs. Deeply embedded in cultural narratives, 'men's work' often ties to notions of strength and provision, yet Strand asserts its true essence lies in vulnerability, emotional resilience, and communal stewardship. She beckons men to not only build and protect but to nurture and heal—collectively redefining masculinity through an eco-poetic lens and rekindling connections with nature, self, and community. In her view, 'men's work' becomes a sacred, participatory journey that honors both ancient wisdom and contemporary insight, fostering a balanced embrace of ecological and social harmony.
