As I began to better refine and focus my concepts and central symbol image themes, I was fascinated by the connotations of fungus’s. They seemed to be the perfect representation of something dark and perverse which thrived off decay. A parasitic creature thriving off the decay of the world. I found it particularly relevant to the decay of social and cultural ideals, especially in regards to the corruption and manipulation of them through the images of the mass media and is a particularly haunting and repulsive symbol.
