Metamorphia captures the images in a dystopian transition, challenging the status quo surrounding the aesthetics of digital image and identity. When things go awry and the glitches start seeping in because there’s only so much an image can take before it turns into something else – after all it is nothing but a bundle of pixels lumped together and when you distort and disturb the preordained predefined arrangement to the point of stripping it off its essence, they resist, they revolt.

Where we’ve lost control of it once it’s uploaded on our computer screens, when the unknown forces lurking beneath the screen ‘surface’ take over. Keeping it all in mind, each image is carefully (de)constructed to reflect where we come from and where we are going while struggling to maintain its relevance. Borrowing from his own childhood and the world he grew up in, Nandan Ghiya presents a series of studio photographs.
