This collection explores dark patterns within human nature.The mold is a destructive yet inevitable force that infects and breaks down anything in its path, metephorically one that overtakes the human mind and controls their behaviors.

The mold is a destructive yet inevitable force that infects and breaks down anything in its path. Anthropomorphized, It's an insidious force that possesses a person's consciousness without them ever knowing.Only identified as evil once the mold has fully blossomed and engulfed its victim.What is within this dark force? Tribalism, dehumanization and scapegoating. When the mold is wiped away, the mycelial system remains, ingrained in the fabric awaiting to be fed. If History can teach us anything, it is that the mold will bloom again.
