This compelling conceptual self-portrait photography print stands as a definitive visual statement within the highly celebrated Metamorphosis series by fine artist Michaela Haider. Serving as a profound exploration of human growth and natural transformation the unique studio composition relies on the artist's own body to map out an eternal dance of symbiosis. The composition anchors a central back view of a bowed human form showing bare branches emerging directly from the neck matrix and striving toward the upper space mimicking the growth lines of a tree. This rich physical texture balances with a warm terracotta textile draped around the shoulder against a stark minimalist gray backdrop.
From the smallest of seeds the tree grows, striving for the skies. Branches form, ramify and blossom in the rhythm of time. The human figure transforms.
The elements depend on each other. An eternal dance of transformation. One becomes the other, again and again. Each the others source of life. A constant process in motion

Originally from Austria, Michaela Haider found her expression in photography at an early age. Drawing inspiration for her early works from the fields and forests, streams and rivers of the region she grew up in. After studying chemistry in Graz, Helsinki and Berlin, the scientific perspective provided even deeper insights into the unifying element of her work — the relationship between the human form and nature, and the materialistic aspect of both.
Her images depict staged worlds that pose and explore the question of this relationship from the human perspective.
Haider's works have been exhibited in Austria, Germany, Spain, and Finland.
