Transformations, or transfigurations are depictions of ancient stories of Shaman and their magical abilities to transform from one thing to another. Shamanic healers, believed to be neither human nor animal can exist in all realms and therefore connect all living things. Transformations are often depicted as multiple creatures combined sometimes called Collages.
