“The embodiment of winter and rebirth.”

Morena, the Slavic goddess who stands at the threshold between seasons, life and death. She appears in folklore as the keeper of winter's sacred knowledge — not a destructive force, but a guardian of necessary transformation. This work explores the ancient feminine archetype of boundary-keeping: the woman who holds power over seasons, fertility, and the permeable space between worlds. Oil and mixed media on dark ground.
