Metamorphosis

Enveloped in a cocoon of plastic, Metamorphosis explores the symbols and themes of transformation and rebirth inspired by the peaceful ambassadors from the insect world. For what is death and the process of being reborn but the shedding of our last skin and the letting go of all that we are in order to become something we’ve never been before?

Director Statement

As an artist, I attempt to empathize with the human experience; parsing the relationship between organisms and bodily structures and what it might mean to bridge the gap between the natural and manmade. Often working intuitively and drawing inspiration from my past and the environment around me, my work can be seen as a narrative of personal trauma and the trauma the earth feels due to the human mark. It provides an experiential opportunity to challenge conventional perception, attempting to stimulate a mixture of sense experience and emotion to provoke a psychological response in the viewer that questions the choices we make daily.
