The Metamorphosis

https://www.behance.net/gallery/130412797/The-Metamorphosis

A design-project that exposes human fears and psychological issues through the lens of contemporary art. The chosen symbolic images for the project are cockroaches, as they evoke a subconscious disgust in us. This is also enhanced by the symbol of a skull—a sacred sign of Death. Each lettering represents a single cockroach as one of the demons that reside in the mind of an anxious person, insecure and disturbed with other mental problems.

My "The Metamorphosis" is not a retelling of the fantastic nature of Kafka’s works but is inspired by an idea of transformation in his novel. Yet, not about the transformation into a cockroach, but about the ways of transforming the destructive nature of our fears into art and a source of life force.

The human modus is built on insecurities, social beliefs and attitudes, fears, ideologies and structures within society and family. The majority of these are disruptive, causing us to fail and instilling fear in us. However, one should not be afraid of their demons and should not look at themselves through their eyes, nor should they be afraid of social rejection. The most important thing is to not depend on someone else’s opinion and to find beauty in your own imperfections, turning them into the foundation of a free and strong personality.
