Break to Breathe

From Shoartsho: Created as a digital illustration. I was inspired by the moment between who we used to be and who we're becoming. The chrysalis represents that hidden stage of transformation, when everything is changing inside but nothing has emerged yet. The eye symbolizes awareness, being able to witness your own transformation while you're still trapped within it. I wanted to capture the moment before the shell breaks, when the need to breathe becomes stronger than the fear of what comes next. Some transformations happen in silence, hidden beneath layers no one else can see. An eye remains open inside the chrysalis, witnessing every change, every struggle, every part of the self slowly becoming something new. Not yet free, but no longer who it used to be. Sometimes, to breathe, something must first break. From Robin: I used a lot of spirals in Metamorphosis, and without even discussing it both Shoartsho and I knew that the only correct vibe for this piece was big outward spirals. And the results speak for themselves - a veritable prison break and subsequent flight to life, freedom, danger, and opportunity. Sheer joy to work on this alongside ShoartSho's keen eye for detail.
