Monster From The ID
Monsters From The ID” is an evocative design in progress, aiming to depict the intricacies of PTSD. The finished artwork will feature a soldier with blood surrounding his feet, and ghostly hands reaching out towards him. These haunting images represent the unseen horrors that linger in his mind, visible only to him.
The title is inspired by the iconic sci-fi classic, “Forbidden Planet“. In the film, the “Monster from the Id” symbolises the physical manifestation of Dr. Morbius’ suppressed desires and emotions. This creature, an unintended byproduct of advanced alien technology, emerges from the human subconscious, taking form and wreaking havoc. By drawing parallels, the artwork delves deep into the internal struggles faced by PTSD sufferers, where buried traumas and suppressed emotions resurface, often with devastating impact.
