Metamorphosis is not merely an exchange of forms, but an inner displacement. Under the pressures of social structures, hidden expectations, and invisible fears, body and mind exist in a state of erosion and reiteration, like surfaces that have been cut, burned, obscured, and layered—forming geological strata that record traces of pain, fatigue, and internal struggle. Yet within these ruptures, a persistent voice remains—a voice within—that calls us to listen and turn our attention back to the essence of the self. Metamorphosis is thus not simply an external effect, but a process through which awareness and awakening unfold. Ultimately, it is not the pursuit of some “other” beyond ourselves, but a return to silence, depth, and the fundamental truth of being human—a genuine journey back to the self.
