Gregor's Room 

A visual response to the short story The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.

The sculpture collection reflects my perception of the short story The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. 

After Gregor is transformed into a large insect, he is confined to his bedroom where he learns to be comfortable with being a bug. Gregor's living situation quickly turns to filth and he enjoys eating rotten garbage instead of his old favorite foods. In my sculpture, I wanted to capture Gregor's room in a state of disarray and filth. He is represented by the rotten apple that his father threw at him.
