Graciela Iturbide folds dream into photography without restraint. Her images open like portals — women as visionaries, carrying legend into the now.

Lillian Bassman’s photographs breathe — women dissolving into shadow and light, part presence, part apparition.

Gertrude Käsebier framed women with permission to simply exist. No performance, no pose — just presence. Her vision informs Metamorphosis: women whole, self-possessed, intact.
