Suicide by Fire marks a departure from the maximalism and movement of Benedict's previous pieces. In this piece which envisions the Creature’s death, the patterns become minimal and the color of the dye softens. The only movement comes from ashes blowing away gently. Rather than brutal and painful, Benedict imagines the Creature’s death as reaching an ultimate peace and final stillness.

What Comes in your box

What inspires the artist?

"I found the decision of the Monster to commit suicide by fire as particularly poignant. He seeks the warmth of connection and companionship. Unable to achieve it in his bodily form, he achieves it through the act of lighting his body on fire."

“In my work, the ‘monster’ is the ideology that humans are distinct from nature. I don’t think we are separate from our environments, if we remember that we can have a profound impact on our ability to achieve harmony both internally and externally, individually and environmentally.”
