превратиться в

Is this always refering to physical direction? In English, this might mean a change i.e.

"The catepillar turned into a butterfly."

I can't recall any case when "превратиться в" would ever refer to physical direction. "превратиться в" = transform(turn) into
Turn meaning physical direction may be translated as повернуть(ся)
