Transmutation

2025 | PUBLICATION

This project explores the process of transmutation. The cyclical deconstruction and reconstruction of the self. At its core, the work is an alchemical journey, reflecting the relentless pursuit of the elusive 'Philosopher's Stone' as a metaphor for achieving the highest state of permanence and perfection. Yet, the desire to bypass the natural laws of transformation and vulnerability carries profound consequences.

Through a series of conceptual and symbolic images, the project juxtaposes the desire to transcend human limitations against the emotional toll of that resistance. It is a visual translation of the friction between striving for an unbreakable, flawless state of being and the realisation that true growth requires us to accept change, decay, and our own fragility. Ultimately, the work examines the cost of seeking immortality over embracing our humanity.
