✷The Faceless Visitor✷

Marzanna, the Godess of Winter and Death, and Licho, creature representing misfortune, as one being. It's wearing kraboszka - type of masks in rituals honouring the dead in slavic cultures. It is wearing traditional folk clothes from Opoczno/Świętokrzyskie region of Poland with typical pasiak - woollen, striped apron, sometimes used as a coat.

The pagan creature is juxtaposed with a tree decorated in rosaries, sacred hearts, shrines and pictures of Black Madonna of Częstochowa. Sights like that are common is Slavic countries, roadside shrines, shrines mounted onto the trees, crosses by the road or in the fields decorated with flowers and colourful ribbons. Christian amulets that sometimes mark a holy place or object or a place where someone lost their life.

This is based on a Polish tale that I grew up reading about a guy who plays music for a Snake Monarch in the Polish Mountains, it is very dear to me <3
