Metamorphosis is a tambour embroidery based on my visual interpretation of The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.  This piece emulates a metaphorical transcendence through time that comes with personal growth through self-reflection.  In the book the main character is isolated in his room, and since he has transformed into a bug, there is nothing for him to do. All he can do is sit and reflect on his life and his relationships and himself.  The piece was kept monochromatic to represent a transitional period of transformation.
