Metamorphosis of the Surreal

This series explores the thresholds between reality and dream, where decay and beauty intertwine. Each photograph stages a surreal encounter, inviting the viewer to pause in uncertainty and glimpse the spirit hidden within the visible.

Metamorphosis of the Surreal gathers four photographs that open a passage between reality and dream. Each image is a fragment, a stage where beauty and decay, silence and spirit, intertwine.

In Art Curator – Metamorphosis (mixed media, analog + drawing), a figure leans into the ruins of creation, becoming both gatekeeper and lost soul until the mural itself breathes and claims him. Aurelia’s Eternal Dream (digital) presents a fleeting moment of peace: a goldfish resting gently in an abandoned room, absurd yet tender. Untitled I (analog, self-portrait) captures a solitary figure by water, poised between reflection and shadow, where objects intrude like symbols from a dream. Corpse Bride (analog) unveils an apparition suspended in light — fragile, ghostly, and luminous.

Though distinct in technique, these images form a coherent surreal theatre — liminal, dreamlike, and deeply human. They are not documents of the visible world, but meditations on the invisible currents that animate it. Working primarily in analog photography, I am drawn to the slowness and tactility of film, where each frame emerges like a meditation. The works invite viewers to pause in uncertainty and to sense the quiet forces that hold everything together.
