CRoNOTRON

UKON

A series in sumi and mixed media, UKON explores the next evolution of a shadowy being that protects the inner child. Both abhorrent and steadfast, Ukon is reluctant to leave their cave. As they envelope the child, muting pain and fear, an absorption takes place. Ukon is still part of the self, and all the toxic grievousness of its form are the result of purification; but they cannot purge the dark, only contain and control it in service of the self.

 

What will Ukon exposed to the light of day reveal?
