about

Monsters are usually depicted as terrible creatures but I feel that they’re misunderstood. The thing that turns a benign creature into a monster is a change in its nature - monsters instinctually chase the thing that makes them appear terrible to a fault.

Monsters have been used in myth to expose human fears / anxieties and also to depict the archetypal pitfalls of certain human characteristics. The characteristic in moderation is not bad until it becomes a problem for the monster or those close to them.

We all encounter monsters in our every day, in other people and in ourselves and this series and theme is not about despising anyone for being a monster but instead in understanding the nature of the monster and the effect that it has in the wake of the monster’s path. I want the listener to empathize with the creature instead of despising it.
