When we think about monsters, we often think of creatures that live in dualities. living/dead, beautiful/ugly, raw/cooked, human/nonhuman, deserving of empathy/terrifying, harming/suffering. I think fictional monsters are an interesting subject on which to project otherness and the modern human condition. In utilizing monster-corpse imagery, I imply remnants of a creature that felt different: A haunted trace of suffering to which we can all feel kindred. In this, I aim to provoke a conflicted viewing process and add value to an aesthetic that blends attraction and aversion.
