‘Metamorphosis’
@ Beiteddine Festival

This is a visual series of transformative sequences expressing Kafka's Metamorphosis.

This collection of students’ works follows a tradition that dates back to 1987 at ALBA.
The spectacle, which forms the year’s curriculum, demonstrates the students’ ability to engage with space, light, color, and emotion—and how these elements interact simultaneously.

This narrative shows an articulated series of transformative sequences representing a metamorphosis. The project manifests itself through a myriad of emotional landscapes: students experiment in order to form an innovative idea that evolves continuously throughout each sequence.
