Photographer An Le creates a [fine arts photo shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhinoceros-gallery1) set in a bathroom. The collection of photos feature a group of men and a group of women that are performing what looks like a ritual of some sorts. The models are seen clutching a wooden cross as they are brutalized by a group of their fellow mates. The set of somber dark photos feature leather masks on the males, and frilly ruffled dresses on the females.

Normally, what goes on behind closed doors of a bathroom stays private -- but not in this collection by An Le. The photographer exposes the strange gruesome activities of some and captures a beautifully expressive set of photos by detailing [religion, violence and rituals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rituals-alchemy-collection).
