they are often quite peculiar, these creatures, as if they had come
from the realm of the shadows
I am searching for the animal inside me.
The animal in me lets me forget.
It shows me tranquility.
The fascination for the monstrous always catches me again.
The ugly, the violent, the dangerous comes to the surface
and increasingly loses its threatening character in being portrayed.
I draw the monsters inside me to make my peace with them.
