“Me-Monsters” is a project about self-discovery. I have tried to discover my true self underneath my egocentric persona. This required taking off the layers of outworn ideas of my identity and delving deeper. I dissected my ego and came up with a ridiculous, obnoxious, funny-looking monster for each part. The first step to bringing each monster to life was to create large marionette sculptures.
