Monster Cycles: A Comic Polemic

_____________________________

As a catalyst to start our work for the semester, we were assigned the task of translating an architectural idea to a comic form that will enable us to use it as a springboard.

Here, I was interested in industrial ecology and systems theory; how many processes (production/consumer) are linear and open-ended with lots of waste as output.

The Frankenstein zombies were a literary vessel that embodied the concept of by-products of human processes, coming together to form a useful entity.

This entity in turn will aid in a larger framework of systems, a system within a system. The zombies will attempt to close the open-ended processes and perhaps start to help us re-think our unsustainable cycles within our environment.

Although they are supposedly undead and repulsive, they act as a reflection of the inner ugliness within humanity; after all, they are products of our waste.

The question is obvious: Who are the monsters, us or them?


(Yes, all very tongue-in-cheek. I love my zombies)
