Metamorphosis traces the shifting boundaries between human and animal, myth and reality. Zura’s works embody states of becoming—hybrid forms that unsettle the notion of fixed identity. Rooted in a classical sculptural tradition yet charged with raw instinct, his figures inhabit a visceral world where vulnerability and power, strangeness and beauty, are held in delicate tension.
Zura is a Georgian-born sculptor whose practice centers on the human figure, often fused with animal forms as a metaphor for instinct, myth, and transformation. Trained in rigorous figurative traditions, his work reimagines classical sculpture for a contemporary moment—where questions of identity, hybridity, and psychological depth converge.
His sculptures are distinguished by their emotional intensity, symbolic complexity, and tactile presence. Through hybrid bodies and mythic archetypes, Zura explores the fragile boundary between humanity’s primal and cultural selves, creating forms that feel both timeless and urgently of the present.
