My Inner Frankenstein

In My Inner Frankenstein series, I explore memories, the process of aging, and the concept of family as an ever-changing organism, marked by fragility and mortality. The faces and body parts used in collages are those of my husband, my son, and myself. The animals in the mix come partially from Slavic folklore, where a bear—an anthropomorphic deity, also known as Misha (Mikhail)—shares a name with my husband.
As our body replaces itself with a new set of cells every 7 to 10 years, are we monsters that devour ourselves with every passing moment? Or like stop-motion animation, do we leave traces of billions of moments past, present, and future, which we could revisit, if only we knew how?
