Familiar Monsters is a visual confrontation of a difficult truth: that the real monsters are rarely strangers. This series reflects on the quiet horror of childhood abuse and the devastating reality that predators are most often people known and trusted — family members, caregivers, community figures.

The characters in these works are distorted but soft, surreal but recognizable. They exist in the blurry space between memory and myth, built from the emotional residue left behind when safety is violated by someone who once felt familiar.

These pieces will be shown at the British Art Fair’s Digitalism section (September 25–28, 2025), and they use AI-supported tools as part of my process. For me, this technology allows faster translation of difficult emotions — a way to draw out what’s been buried and give it shape.
