Dark Creature
Autio Pasi
The work depicts a frontal image of the face of an old woman. Her facial features grow animalistic and creature-like as the lighting begins to fade. Finally, her face disappears completely apart from two shimmering points of light that are reflected in her eyes. After a while, the light grows brighter and the face returns, undergoing the same transformation in reverse, from a creature into a human face.
