Work inspired by Ovid's Metamorphosis

Transformational drawings of hands and feet with feathers sprouting. They are not yet wings, but can never go back to being hands and feet. Ovid's Metamorphoses (written about 2000 years ago in Latin) is a collection of stories in which human beings are transformed into trees, animals and birds.

What does it feel like to be in the process of that transformation? To be halfway between the person that you are ceasing to be and the bird that you are becoming? There is the promise of flight, freedom, an escape to the air, but there is also loss and separation.
