Metamorphosis: From Waste to Art presents a unique collection of sculptures made from waste materials gathered around Kathmandu valley. Artist Saurab Koirala transforms discarded objects into 20 striking creatures that balance between the natural and artificial. Drawing on childhood memories and experiences at Taragaon, Koirala’s work invites viewers to reconsider what waste can become. The exhibition encourages reflection on climate change and its effects on local wildlife and plants, making it both visually engaging and thought-provoking. Visitors explore pieces that challenge the usual boundaries of art and environment, each sculpture telling its own story. The transformation of familiar materials into living forms offers a fresh perspective on creativity and sustainability. Whether interested in contemporary art or environmental issues, this exhibition provides a quiet space to engage with both. It’s a chance to appreciate how art can give new life to what we often overlook.
