This project started off as a chronological record of visual representations of emotional distress caused by bullying and childhood traumas. As time has progressed this project has provided much more to the artist than originally intended. Rather than a medium for narrowly channeling experiences only related to childhood and bullying, it has now evolved to represent many other aspects of the symbiosis between himself and the universe. This project represents the situations,connections, and phenomena that create monsters within himself, as well as the monsters who create them. The Monstered Project is here to reveal the human psyche's monstrous elements as well as its ability to create monstrosities in others. It also reveals the self's ability to rid itself of monstrosity and heal other's as well. In a sense, the project presents two sides of the same condition, the symbiosis and antibiosis of monstrosity in humanity through the lens of artist's and spiritual journey through existence in the 21st century. May this project serve as an accurate portrait and testament to the many who live this in this world with these experiences.

The locker is a quintessential symbol of the American school system. Lockers are one of those few subtle objects that permeate our memories with associations of our past. They contain things. They hold our memories, even identities. For some these identities are false and are merely hidden defense mechanisms against the outside world. These identities, for some, meant the difference between simply using a locker as a daily convenience or being slammed against one.

Shoebox projects are nostalgic for many of us, just as the environments and memories that associated with them: classrooms and playgrounds. These locations could have been epicenters of abuse and bullying for some of us.

The victim and perpetrator are one.
The Monstered Project is dedicated to raise public awareness about bullying and other forms of child/adolescent abuse through the raw emotional power of the arts.

Gender roles put unprecedented amounts of pressure on those growing up free of society’s rigid standards; thus they become vulnerable to ridicule due to their differences.
