Samantha Yun Wall delves into our collective stories to better understand contemporary social structures that stigmatize difference. She focuses on the female archetypes found throughout global mythologies, folktales, and creation narratives. Vilified figures, such as ghosts, monsters, healers, and storytellers, are the most revealing. The women described defy traditional expectations and are consequently marginalized, transformed into altered beings, made invisible or hyper-visible, and treated as outcasts.
