Chrysalis
Chrysalis is a visual series by Georgiana Feidi, a Cluj-Napoca–based artist whose work bridges digital and analogue techniques. Exploring Earth as a living organism in transformation, Feidi blends surreal imagery, post-processing and ethereal tones to reflect on nature’s cycles, human interconnectedness, and the quiet power of planetary renewal.

Imagine our planet Earth as an autonomous, living entity, moving through its own cycles of rest, regeneration, and transformation. Chrysalis explores this vision, portraying the Earth in a state of slumber, where the natural world forms a cocoon for unseen change.
Through surreal imagery and ethereal blue tones, Georgiana investigates the interconnectedness between nature, the cosmos, and humanity. Natural elements blend with the human presence, reflecting the Earth's quiet metamorphosis. Using extensive post-production, she pushes the boundaries of the real, crafting dreamlike scenes that blur imagination and reality.
The human body emerges as a symbol of transformation, echoing the Earth’s regenerative processes and the profound ties between humans and the natural world. This series invites contemplation of the silent rhythms of renewal that govern both the planet and ourselves. Just as the chrysalis shelters transformation in stillness, so too does Earth move through its cycles—subtle, vast, and deeply intertwined with our own.
“This series invites contemplation of the silent rhythms of renewal that govern both the planet and ourselves.”
“Just as the chrysalis shelters a transformation in silence, so too does the Earth move through its quiet rhythms, inviting us to recognise our place within its continuous cycle of growth and change.”
