Miles 52-64 | “River, Monster” by Corey Wright
“River, Monster.” brings to life a barren wasteland where the scarcity of water becomes a reality. A desolate look at what the river could be if human impact increases as is projected. The river is now the animus, learning to walk and bringing with it the creekside, holding life of its own. The river is the protector, and holds secrets – reflecting back to the viewer the blood-red of what could be, if one does not find the monster in themselves.
