Metamorphosis

'Change alone is eternal, perpetual, and immortal.'
Arthur Schopenhauer

For Come Up to My Room, my work focuses on metamorphosis. 

Life is made up of phases both beautiful and challenging. We desire the stability of stasis, but we flourish with change; it forces us to pause, analyze, and quantify our experiences.

At times, we must build a cocoon with our history, creating a space to take a sometimes difficult look at our lives, mourning the things we will leave behind, and to accept others and ourselves for the fragile, imperfect beings we are. Even the most positive transformations stressfully force us out of our comfort zone; we have to rebuild our confidence in new surroundings and regain our bearings.  

Through this process, we become our truer selves.
