Metamorphosis
Emancipation Through Free Expression
A project born from the need to break.
From the rejection of the body, the weight of judgment, and a state of internalized silence.
The body becomes the place where this tension unfolds and transforms.
Bandages contain, restrict, conceal.
But they are also what is pulled, stretched, and eventually broken.
This is not a clean liberation.
It is a process.
A transition in which the body stops being an object of control and returns to presence.
A space where the voice re-emerges, and identity takes shape beyond the gaze of others.
Frida Miranda R.
The project originates from Manuela Zero’s initial desire to be portrayed as a now-deceased Hollywood diva with a fragmented face. However, this desire evolves into something broader, in tune with contemporary society. Frida transforms the idea of the portrait into a photographic project that stands as a symbol of emancipation from social and personal judgment. Her goal, together with Manuela and Chiara, is to visually represent liberation from the boundaries imposed by society and self-evaluation.
