Metamorphoses Collection

"Inspired by the beauty of transformation"

Words have recorded life in and out of people since the beginning of time, whether they are immortalized through spoken speech or written pages. Myths, in turn, gave people hope that God can bestow grace on man, and that tragedy can even befall those who abound in the greatest beauty. Inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, this thought-provoking set of four plate designs by Michal Bačák takes you through the four formative stories of Ovid's epic poem; from human creation myths to ill-fated love. Pay special attention to every detail of the design, because not a single aspect was put in there randomly. Each attribute carefully tells a different level of the story and references Ovid's original texts.
