The Demonized Self explores how we turn what we don’t understand into monsters. Through sculptural portraits inspired by real people and their stories, I reclaim the demon as a symbol of individuality, autonomy, and the misunderstood.

These paintings transform my inner experiences into demons, giving physical form to the things I can’t always explain. Each creature becomes a portrait of something I’ve lived with, loved, feared, fought, or learned to understand.

The Archive of the Damned is a growing collection of demons, one portrait and one story at a time. Each day, I invent a new “monster” and the story of what they did, desired, or refused to become that got them demonized.
