Coppejans notes that the title of his photo series has nothing to do with the comedy-drama show of the same name on Netflix.

Some men had just returned from Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. The practice of dyeing hair also generally occurs around the time of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.

This sheds light upon the notion of how people can express their inner selves through the way in which they use the exterior of their body as a canvas.
