This seven image series traces a psychological and emotional journey from confinement to quiet liberation.

It explores the metamorphosis of the self, from vulnerability and fracture to a state of granite like stillness.

Drawing on Stoic philosophy and the surreal metamorphosis of Dalí, the series proposes that freedom is an inner transformation, not an external condition.

Through the aesthetic of Symbolic Fragmentalism, blending Surrealism (dream logic and inner metaphor), Cubism (structural fragmentation), Neo-Expressionism (emotional turbulence), and Minimalism (spatial calm), each image captures a different stage of awakening, chaos, and acceptance.

It’s a story about someone who feels trapped, like a bird that can’t fly away.

The Search for Inner Freedom, the journey to lasting liberty not through escape, but through stillness and acceptance.

It reinterprets flight as a metaphor for consciousness, exploring how identity evolves through endurance.

Echoing Stoic ideals of apatheia and Dalí’s metamorphic surrealism, it charts a passage from longing to peace, from fragmentation to unity.

They watch the world and feel lost, but they slowly learn that real freedom isn’t about running away, it’s about finding calm inside, like a rock that doesn’t move even when the waves crash around it.
