Scientific studies have shown that
symmetry is pleasing to the mind’s sense
of order and rightness, and that the most
beautiful face would be a perfectly
symmetrical one. But for perfect beauty to
exist there must also be perfect horror.
I have tried to make the beautiful horrific
through symmetry, but despite their
monstrous content, these images remain,
I think, quite beautiful.
