Artist Statement:
Informed by experimental films from the 1960s and 70s, Terror Fervor takes the viewer on a psychedelic non-linear journey through the vices of seven characters. The personified monsters reflect the selfish behaviors that lead to a planet devoid from community and life, period. The wordless journey of Terror Fervor plunges the viewer into an experience that is hard to classify and hard to forget.
