Shape-shift is a topic that has always been close to me. I really understand this concept of finding strength when you become someone else, with different limitations, but also with different possibilities. Were-foxes, Ponyo the Fish, Sirius Black - they all gain new abilities by abandoning their human form and opening their minds to a new paradigm. Shape-shift is something that happens every day: when making difficult decisions, diving into new areas of interest. I believe that any new experience changes us so that we will never be the same. But growth is impossible without shocks?
