Inspiration, Sculpture by Patricia Piccinini.
The Uzuries are born tiny and extraordinary beautifull. They live to be more than 300 years old, but during their lifespan, they go trough a total transformation. From being about 3 cm tall beings, resembeling fairies, they develop into monsters with an altitude of over 3 meters. Already by the age of 30 they are almost unrecognizable, and are no longer accepted by the society they grew up in, where beauty is what is valued the most. They live the rest of their life in bitterness and solitude, as outcasts from the society.
