A bit of blue fire set against orange fire. Kafka, upon his death, wanted his friend Max Brod to burn all of his work. Thankfully for us, Brod didn't.
As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.

"Studying with Kafka". Franz Kafka's famous work "The Metamorphosis" is about a man who wakes to find himself turned into a giant beetle. In it, we consider the power of transformation. We see our own transformation one wrinkle at a time, but what if it happened overnight? Often, it does. Circumstances change, people leave, and if you're like me, you consider your own mortality an alarming amount. Sometimes I feel I change as often as the sun rises.
I'm 34 years old. My hair isn't gray yet. My skin isn't wrinkled. I see myself in three parts, all mingled: the way I was, the way I am, the way I will be. When my life ends, I'll be remembered as the culmination of all those moments. Minute transformations.
In this image: a circle to show the cycle of life. Beetles to represent transformation and mortality. A tulle dress and innocent braids to show the softness of youth. A beautiful portrait set against the grotesque.

You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
I have the true feeling of myself only when I am unbearably unhappy.
