April 30, 2025
by

Metamorphosis is a visual series that steals the magic of a butterfly’s journey from being wrapped in a cocoon to growing wings and learning how to fly. It’s a metaphor for transformation, for the quiet power in choosing growth over comfort.

The image holds a moment of becoming. As the muse carry wings, not as decoration, but as symbols of courage reminders that even when we feel tied up, change is already happening.

It’s about rebellion. About softness. About walking away from the familiar and realizing you don’t need limbs to move you just need the will to fly.
