Metamorfose I presents a human figure positioned between the human and the insect-like. The body folds into itself, suspended in a state of transformation. Limbs extend beyond natural proportion, the back acquires a hardened surface that recalls a carapace, and a second head, or residue of a previous form, remains attached, as if not yet fully shed. The figure inhabits this altered condition without resistance. The drawing does not depict an event, but a state: a body in transition. Influenced by Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, the work considers physical change as a parallel to internal and social shifts. Transformation here is not spectacle, but an unresolved, continuous process.
