The Bush Monster
The Bush Monster is a photographically illustrated rhyming story for children. This interactive mixed-media project contains digital, reversed lens and digital pinhole images, and tells an unusual story of a bush monster who is used to hunting creatures that are different than others. Bullying happens across all ages, to children and adults alike. This peculiar tale can serve as a starting point for a more in-depth discussion between an adult and a child, raising questions around such topics as bullying, being different, envy, empathy, and forgiveness. The Bush Monster illustrates a story with nature photography told in an anthropomorphistic manner and with an emphasis on pareidolia, highlighting arbitrary connections in nature.
