 In this series, Mateu Velasco chooses to portray women whose hair is intertwined with seemingly disparate objects, but which, under his gaze, share the idea of transformation, or metamorphosis. The choice of each element removes objects from their usual context, leading the viewer to seek less obvious meanings. “My work plays with the iconography of our daily lives. The challenge of the installation is to remove the object's original function and insert it into another context,” explains the artist.
 The artist's portraits maintain a pop language within a distinctly feminine universe, a characteristic of Mateu, who is influenced by graffiti but possesses noble lines and precision resulting from his training as an illustrator.
