About the ArtistsMetamorphosis is a contemporary sculpture series by Iranian artists Arzhang Mahajan and Mehraneh Jafari, created through a collaborative practice exploring memory, transformation, and liberation.
Working with natural stone, resin, precious minerals, and gold, the artists explore the fragile boundaries between pain and liberation, memory and transformation.
Each sculpture exists as both object and metaphor — carrying traces of fracture, resilience, healing, and renewal.
The project combines sculpture, research, narrative, and material experimentation, creating works that bridge personal experience and collective memory.
Through material experimentation and symbolic structures, Metamorphosis invites viewers to consider how beauty emerges from vulnerability and how matter itself becomes a vessel for memory, resistance, and freedom.
