Metamorphose

Bronze · 2014

In Metamorphose, Metzler develops his reflection on the relationship between the human being and the built environment, transforming bodies into living architectures. The work is the result of a profound integration between organic form and geometric structure, where legs and heads intertwine until the distinction between flesh and concrete, individual and city, dissolves. The bronze, solid and noble, accentuates this fusion. The surface reflects the tension between physical and social change. Humanity here is no longer represented in its singularity but as a modular element, part of a larger system in which identity is absorbed, transformed, sometimes lost. The title Metamorphose is revealing: this is a work that embodies transition, becoming, the continuous hybridisation of the human and the urban.
