Raquel Moreno’s “Apocalyptic” emerges from her fascination with women taking center stage in horror films. It delves into the exploration of female characters embodying chaos—those who evoke fear, scream, and disrupt societal norms. The project contemplates the essence of the apocalyptic, juxtaposing its dark and mysterious connotations with the idea of revelation. This revelation signifies the abandonment of societal expectations of goodness and the prescribed notions of what it means to be “good.”

The publication challenges the conventional narrative by illustrating the possibility of embracing one’s darker side, the desire to be frightening, to revel in solitude, to express discontent, and to relinquish the pursuit of being perceived as “good” or pleasing. Through a collection of vibrant drawings in colored pencils and greasy pastels, the book features frames from horror films and excerpts of dialogues, portraying the terrifying and unrestrained nature of these female protagonists.
