MONSTERS: SHADOWS & THE SUBCONSCIOUS

During sleep, the subconscious speaks through symbolic manifestations: deep-water entities like octopuses embodying the unfathomable depths of the mind, and crows acting as guides between realms. The Monsters series investigates our deepest existential vulnerabilities: the confrontation with mortality, the visceral dread of sharp edges and self-inflicted rupture, and the psychological tremors of crisis. Death emerges not merely as an end, but as a liminal transition to another plane of consciousness. Through surrealist assemblage and visual psychoanalysis, the works confront internal shadows to articulate a singular imperative: amidst terror, acute trauma, and external collapse, the only true devastation is the loss of one's core self.
