In myths and fantastic stories, beings who can change their own external form are referred to as “metamorphs” or “shape changers”. But you don’t have to think of the Frog Prince or Harry Potter – people themselves become shape-shifters through the choice and design of their clothing, through fashion and the desire for recognition. It is the skin of animals and their feathers that he uses and thus intervenes in nature. The animals, robbed of their own skins and furs, also need new clothes. The work initially appears as a cheerful, colorful scene. But in the background, the nature abused by humans for their own purposes appears dark.
