About this Artwork

Metamorphosis is not decoration explores psychological transformation.

This work reflects the moment when innocence gives way to awareness. What first appears delicate reveals a darker depth beneath the surface.

Placed in augmented reality, the image enters public space directly. It interrupts the ordinary landscape and creates an unexpected encounter with a presence that is both beautiful and unsettling.

The butterflies suggest transformation, but not as ornament. They mark a shift in perception. A movement from surface to depth.

In this context, AR becomes a form of quiet intervention. The work leaves the gallery and occupies the city, inviting viewers to pause and confront what lies beneath appearances.
