“METAMORPHOSIS” is a sequential art project that interrogates the profound sense of alienation and existential uncertainty generated by the exigencies of contemporary hyper-reality.
The narrative conceptualizes daily existence as an iterative loop, wherein the boundaries between the objective and the imaginary dissolve into a state of digital liquidity.
The theoretical framework of the project is deeply informed by Ovid’s Metamorphoses, specifically the myth of Daphne, who elects to undergo botanical transmutation to evade Apollo's aggressive pursuit. This classical narrative serves as a catalyst for investigating how the act of transformation serves as a nexus between the human impulse for psychological sanctuary, introspection, and somatic autonomy.
In this contemporary reinterpretation, metamorphosis is framed not merely as an escape, but as a radical ontological shift—a defensive withdrawal into stillness as a means of surviving a chaotic external environment.
