"Metamorphosis III excerpt 5" (1968) is a lithograph by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher (1898-1972). The artwork is a prime example of Escher's renowned tessellations, where geometric shapes seamlessly interlock to create a repeating pattern. This particular piece features a dynamic transformation as fish morph into horses, then into birds. Escher's mastery of optical illusion and the captivating interplay between these distinct forms make this artwork a captivating visual experience.
