Caramel Lover says:
"it's really dangerous to look at Meta-morphosis work, cause you might get addicted to them, they're so powerfull and amazingly stunning. The best artist that Flickr could have."

neminemistiq says:
"honestly,i think she s a true artist with the kind of photos that doesn t just transmits you a message,its shouting the message,its pushing you to think,to take an attitude,to see the things different..she s one of the few that can truly inspire other people with her images...one of those who can make a visible diference..."

"It is not often that I see another visually express what I know to be true and/or feel. Your work speaks for and to many, and I am sure they appreciate that vivid imagination as much as I do."

Artismo says:
"There is such a reflective element about meta-morphosis' work that is refreshing. At first glance the photos may be a bit brash and unwelcoming but this is something that I find compelling about her work. There are messages with each one and it's nice to know that there is someone trying to push open the door for art and trying to open peoples eyes to conventional beauty."

malik ml williams says:
"Dangerous.
I'm sure that's what people are saying about Meta-morphosis's work. People who are scared of being challenged. People who are vested in maintaining the status quo. People who fear the power of confrontational art.
I am thankful for her courage and for her danger."3rd January, 2007

CHAD COOMBS says:
"one of the must sees in flickr land.
not only great images, but greater purpose behind them and thoughts to go along with every thing you see.
leaves you remembering the image as well as a whole day of thoughts and storys to go on and on in your head started by the image provided by meta.
in a world of unthought provoking images and pop this and pop that, these are some strong thought provoking images much needed for everyones eyes to see.
important element to flickr and a top on my list of must sees to boot."1st January, 2007

atonewell says:
"Wow. Stunning, terrifying, beautiful, dark, gothic. These are just some of the ways that you could describe Meta-morphosis' work. But all of them, you just *have* to look at, to study, to delve the meaning she has embedded into them."

Psycho Crow says:
"Mildly disturbing, graphically vivid, outrageously controversial, and thought provokingly wonderful, all the things I think art should be, you will find it here. Take photography and mix it up with an amazing imagination and artistic talent and this is what you get."

Jack Scoresby says:
"Meta-morphosis seems to take ideas straight out of my dreams, your dreams, and the minds of anyone who's expanded their minds through any number of means. Amazingly creative and skilled at manipulation, as well as gifted with words to a degree equally impressive, Meta-morphosis is someone whose work you must see, because most of it looks back at you."

"meta is the inspiration of inspirations,she dares to take us to places we only dream about in our worst nightmares or feared realities.
her art work is always very strong and meaningful and yet she can share the tenderest of moments through her work
it is my pleasure to call her a friend and great inspiration, keep up the great work hun (another of my darklings :) )

Amo tutti i suoi elaborati. E' veramente un'artista unica nel suo genere, fonte di ispirazione e di creatività.
Veramente brava, anche se brava è una parola riduttiva, non saprei come esprimermi meglio. Grande!"3rd November, 2006

S@mmy K@y says:
"About Meta-morphosis ?? A CATERPILLAR that can change into a beautiful BUTTERFLY (she can also do viceversa :)
Her work speaks for ITSELF. She is the QUEEN of Photoshop.
Transforming images is not just what she does, she also TELLS you a story with them and then it's up to you how to INTERPRET it.
The most KIND, good sense of humour and HELPFUL human being willing to share her tips with you, too. But don't cross her or she will show you her Monster + Bloody collection !!!! :)"8th October, 2006

Sir Oc says:
"half a year ago when i joined Flickr it didn't take that long for me to 'meet' Meta.
Ever since her work is like an endless stream, allways in full glory!
She keeps suprising me with her images and poems.
With her intergity, fashinations, beauty and horror.
Her technical skills and esthetics are phenomenal!
Still she doesn't seem to suffer from steralures :)
In her comments she is allways suportive, witty and funny.
Thnx Meta, you spice up Flickr!"7th September, 2006

Conor Ryan says:
"Meta: (1) above, over and/or beyond; language to describe lanquage; transcendent; a higher state of development. (2) Involving substitution at or characterized by two positions in the benzene ring that are separated by one carbon atom.
Morphosis: Having a specified shape or form.
Meta-morphosis: pixels will never ever be the same again."11th August, 2006

Treforlutions TreVizionz says:
"Stunning, provocatice, disturbing, sensual. erotic, mere words for such powerful images that speak a language beyond the one I know.
A testimony of one who embraces life to the max, from dark to light and all the places in between.Trans-formation does it big time.
Meta-morphosis gauranteed."11th August, 2006

"One of the most talented artists on Flickr, but cover the photos and just read the words and this shows you the real person behind the computer, a woman who cares about things that matter, she will make you think and question things and that can only be a good thing, now observe meta's stream and you are bound to learn something"

"Your work definitely extends beyond the artist flair of getting the point across. It snaps into your face, melts bone...rips your soul out from your chest and taunts it before the eyes as if it will be the only thing I can think about for hours after. I luv your work."

brain tunnel says:
"Absolutely one of, if not the most consistantly imaginative, creative and prolific producers of thought provoking images on Flickr. A skilled optic composer whose artistic use of photo manipulation augments and enhances without sacrificing the emotional connection and socially conscience value of the compositions...plus, her models are really f***ing hot!!"

TjF Photography says:
"Trans-formation is a true artist whose talent taunts each & everyone of us to take a real close look into our own lives & souls. She somehow is able to transform her poetic Philosophies from her mind, to absolutely brilliant pictures, that every one of us can understand...as long as we open OUR minds.
Thank You Trans-formation!
I've been touched"19th March, 2006

"Trans-formation is a fantastic artist and has so much to say. Her work is visually stunning and certainly is very thoughtful, concise and provoking. Every single image is of such a high standard. I'm just waiting for a book of her work to come out - its well deserving of that."

Creativist says:
"Trans-formation's work jumps off the screen, grabs me 'round the throat, slaps me a few times and throws me to the floor, where I wonder how she can be so creatively and technically brilliant.
I will never tire of admiring her creations, and look forward to every new piece since whatever that next image is will certainly be an inspiration.
Thanks for sharing. Keep knocking me back with your work."18th March, 2006

LouisCypher says:
"Trans-formation is a truly brillant artist. She never fails to amaze, and inspire me with each piece she creates. Her work touches every possible emotional trigger, it draws you in, even if you don't wish to go there. The sign of a truly great artist is one that makes you think, then think again. Trans-formation has that abilty in abundance."

Oliver Ingrouille says:
"Trans-formation obviously has far to much time on her hands. I am drawn back to her pictures time and again only to be shocked by both the content, quality and statement of yet another amazing piece.
Both her artwork and encouraging comments continuously inspire and nurture my own, slightly darker side and for that alone, I thank her ; )"16th March, 2006

Thomas Dodd says:
"Trans-formation has a caustic wit, an eagle eye, and incredible photoshop chops.. She was a major influence on me when I first got started (on another site) and she remains one of my favorite graphic artists. She is continually growing and evolving and in addition to being a great artist - I also consider her to be a dear friend..."
