TRANSFORMATION

Updated: Jul 26, 2023

My artwork, inspired by Franz Kafka's novel "The Metamorphosis," explores the themes of transformation. Kafka's iconic work tells the story of Gregor Samsa, who wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect. In my painting, I capture the essence of this surreal and unsettling metamorphosis, portraying the struggles and emotional turmoil experienced by the protagonist.

Through the use of symbolism and visual elements, my artwork delves into the profound theme of transformation. It reflects Kafka's exploration of identity, isolation, and the absurdity of human existence. By juxtaposing human and insect forms and portraying the surrounding environment, I aim to enhance the eerie atmosphere and convey the essence of Kafka's narrative.

My artistic interpretation of Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" offers a thought-provoking visual representation of the novel's themes and emotions. It invites viewers to contemplate the nature of transformation, the fragility of human identity, and the psychological impact of societal expectations.

Overall, my artwork seeks to capture the essence of Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" and presents a unique perspective on the theme of transformation. It reflects my creativity and ability to translate literary inspiration into visual expression.
