‘Metamorphosis: Make Time For Change’

Release date: October 4th 2021

Metamorphosis has definitions in all walks of life, but the essence of these definitions always stems back to the idea of change. Metamorphosis is the process of profound transformation, from one stage of life to the next. Change is a dominate force throughout nature and something we all navigate regularly as our lives are constantly metamorphosising. Change can be many things but is never as simple as just ‘good’ or ‘bad’, deriving from the most complex of situations to the simplest. Ultimately, change, and therefore metamorphosis, can only transpire from individual experience. It’s not black and white, but a spectrum ready to explore.
