The Stag

Stag masks are used in pagan dances during winter rituals. The stag antlers resemble the tree of life, symbolising renewal or rebirth. For this illustration i was inspired by the costumes seen around new years in my own country. I remember them since childhood along with the goat costumes. I’m also experimenting with a bit of colour lately, as you can see.

“GOD: I own you like I own the caves. THE OCEAN: Not a chance. No comparison. GOD: I made you. I could tame you. THE OCEAN: At one time, maybe. But not now. GOD: I will come to you, freeze you, break you. THE OCEAN: I will spread myself like wings. I am a bird with tiny feathers. You have no idea what’s happened to me.”
