Metamorphoses is a series of constructed photographs in which the human figure becomes a vessel for landscape and inner life. Through layering, blur, and elemental textures—sand, water, trees, blossom, fire—the body shifts between presence and disappearance, portrait and environment.
Rather than illustrating a story, the work builds a sequence of states: innocence, imprint, solitude, tenderness, transfiguration. Faces turn into skies, skin becomes shoreline, and a gesture carries both grief and release. The images invite the viewer to read the figure less as an individual and more as a shared human condition—how we absorb what we have lived through, and how the world continues to move through us.
Formally, the series leans into ambiguity: the photograph as an image that can hold two truths at once. The overlays are not decorative effects but a way of making visible what is usually private—memory, sensation, emotional weather. In this space, the body is not a subject to be described, but a site of change: porous, temporary, and quietly luminous.
