METAMORFOSI
>From Ovid to Pantheism, mythical literature is saturated with human-to-nature metamorphosis. The fusion between man and nature enchants us, and transition into diverse realms fascinates us. In this humanization of nature that exalts nature’s volatility, the body becomes a well of inspiration for art. In the metamorphosis, the artist gathers interest for nature in her lights and shadows, and creative power in her contradictions. In creating an interlacing of the human body and nature, the artist hints at the ominous aspect of the metamorphosis and highlights the transformation of the woman into a plant-like creature. In my study, the identity of the female subject becomes canceled-out and with this the portraiture becomes an indistinct homogeny. The body becomes a surreal theatre for projections and the subject acquires a new identity.
