"Built from the parts they threw away, stitched together and told to be grateful."
- Nat Berhe

Emerging from a dense charcoal darkness, Frankenstein's monster confronts the viewer without apology, scarred brow, weary blue eyes, neck bolts rendered in silver, body wrapped in a bright cobalt blue. Berhe treats this icon of the constructed outsider with raw empathy, painting the stitches and wounds with the same brushwork he uses for grief. The monster is not a horror story; he is a mirror.
