Metamorphosis

The Downward Facing Dog, the King Cobra, the Crane, the Plough: yogic asanas, or poses, invoke animate and inanimate objects, the form and spirit. Artist Emanuele Scanziani plays brilliantly with this connection, turning the human form into a lion, a snake, a scorpion ... Accompanying the images are brief descriptions of both the physical pose and the imaginative, meditative essence of the asana.
