Bestiary is the product of a long fascination with Greek mythology and late 19th century photography. Based on hybrid creature descriptions and influenced by religious iconography, this is a series where myth meets social criticism by molding monstrous archetypes into contemporary commentary. Most importantly, the beasts here, go beyond their typically singular dimension and assume complex, tragic personalities in which monsters and heroes become difficult to tell apart.
