ENIGMA (SAMSA)

Enigma was created out of a paroxysm of hatred at the state of our dying world we once used to inhabit. And yet I cannot help but wonder what our death will give rise to.

The work is a visual interpretation of Kafka's Metamorphosis. Depicted is the book's protagonist Gregor Samsa, who finds himself one day transformed into a cockroach. The work explores further meaning of this legendary piece of literature by relating it to the pain felt by generations of people today.
