"Twisted Metamorphosis" is an exploration of identity, ruthlessly dissecting the arbitrary lines that society draws between acceptance and alienation. By intertwining Franz Kafka's harrowing narrative of Gregor Samsa's transformation with the ceremonial metamorphosis of a Kathakali* performer, this project forces a confrontation with the uncomfortable realities that govern societal norms.​​The decision to place Gregor's grotesque change—an embodiment of chaos and rejection—alongside the Kathakali artist’s revered transformation is intentional. It starkly highlights the irony in how society glorifies certain transformations while vilifying others. Gregor, whose metamorphosis is involuntary and tragic, becomes a symbol of those who are shunned by a society that fears what it does not understand. Conversely, the Kathakali performer, whose transformation is deliberate, controlled, and celebrated, represents the identities that society deems acceptable—those that adhere to established norms and traditions.​​The use of AI in refining this narrative brings a contemporary discourse to the project, symbolizing the intersection of tradition and modernity. The AI-driven elements are not mere gimmicks; they serve to underscore the subtle march of technology in shaping our perceptions of identity and reality. In this context, the technology acts as both creator and critic, mirroring the dual role of society in both constructing and deconstructing identities. The narrative rap further amplifies the project’s message, transforming the critique into a visceral experience. The rap's urgent, confrontational tone serves as a act , demanding that reassess the systemic biases that determine who is elevated and who is discarded. It's not just an artistic choice but a deliberate provocation, intended to shake the audience out of complacency.​​ By juxtaposing these two disparate yet eerily similar metamorphoses, the project lays bare the arbitrary nature of societal acceptance. It challenges us to look beyond the surface, to question the criteria by which we judge transformation, and to consider the true cost of forcing identities into predefined molds. In a world increasingly defined by conformity, this project dares to ask—what is the price of acceptance, and who pays it?
