Description: I wrote a strange description of this artwork right after I created it. You can see 2014 explanation (or a little poem, if I may call it so) below. Overall, this image portrays a spirit guard who protects an interdimensional traveler (or any ordinary person) from making stupid mistakes. The spirit will kick your ass if he catches you doing something dumb.
2014 Description: I have been dreaming about you. I have been dreaming about another being to whom I can deliver my hopes and dreams. I have exhausted myself. The flame has burned itself out. The wind has scattered the ashes. The only reminder I have left is the dead eye on the ground between fresh sprouts of grass. You could have been that being. You could have been alive, just like them. But you are not. You are a shadow, just like me. Just like all of us trapped inside the dead eye, Heleleka.
I have been questioning everything. Just like the man said. Just like the woman asked me not to. I have been thinking about the Moon, the Sky, and the Stars. Not the Blue Moon - not the moon that dances with the rivers - the Silver Moon that dances with us, Heleleka.
I have been listening to your song: sometimes loud and screechy, sometimes soft and pure. The trees, the wind, the Earth itself have been singing the song with you, have been repeating your word, have been repeating your message day after day, year after year, Heleleka.
You are here now. You are staring into the eye of Death. You are smiling. You are happy for us all, for the shadows of the Blue moon dancing with her Silver sister. You are content because you know the Truth. You see the light blossoming in the ashes. You see Hope. You see a new Life, Heleleka.
