A Metamorphosing

Written By Phoo Myat Thwe

I want to talk to you about the hole in my wall.

Metamorphosing discusses the story of transmuting during a period of extreme violence and extreme confinement, looking at biological processes and human psychology. It's my first attempt at interactive storytelling, created with Twine. This story was published in Myanmar Blog "Moe Thauk" for Jakarta Biennale 2021 Esok.
