There are two major areas when working on metamorphosis and transformation. One is the development of a form, and the other is the condition in which that form finds itself. A prominent example is the phoenix. We all know the saying "like a phoenix from the ashes" – something that you think is lost, but that then appears in new glory, or when you’ve suffered a defeat, get up and continue with newfound strength. The phoenix is an animal of metamorphosis from fire. The fire is already a transformation. Because fire needs nourishment, namely wood or another flammable material, in addition to air and heat, to burn, and then actually nothing remains. Through this act of transformation, the energy of the fire is lost according to our everyday logic and observation. In mythology, something new emerges from the fire and that is the phoenix. This is incredibly exciting because naturally the phoenix unlocks an incredible range of imagination and becomes an important symbol.
