The images from this series merge contemporary forms of body modification with classical idealized human figures from antiquity and the renaissance. Taking inspiration from mythology, especially Ovid's Metamorphosis, creatures in the throes of transformation serve as a metaphor for the inevitable genetic self-creation and possible immortality of the human body. From bionic angel at bitforms.
