The Theatre of Transformation

The Theatre of Transformation
This series explores identity as a layered and ever-changing construct. Through collage, Natalia weaves together fragments of fashion, theatre, and nature to create figures that exist between reality and imagination. Each work embodies transformation — from words that become garments, to masks that fragment the self, to nature that blooms, to the stage of metamorphosis, and finally to light as spirit. The collages invite viewers to witness the ways we perform, conceal, and reinvent ourselves, highlighting the tension between fragility and strength, presence and absence, mask and self. By using fragments from everyday printed matter, Natalia reconstructs new symbols of identity, offering a poetic reflection on how we see ourselves and others within these theatrical forms. The series flows as a continuum: text, mask, nature, stage, and light, each step revealing a different facet of transformation and human expression.
