Under the gentle glow of the moon, emerges Charon, the ferryman of the underworld, taking the form of a skeleton draped in a tattered, black robe. His skull is concealed beneath the shadow of a hood, and with steadfast determination, he steers his viking boat towards the shore. By his side, lying in the traditional wooden vessel, rests a male human passenger, whose eyes betray profound fear. The boat glides serenely upon the calm waters of a river, its outline blurred by the mist shrouding the banks. In the chilly night, beneath the moon casting its muted radiance, a lantern casts a feeble light within the boat, flickering and casting glimpses upon the surrounding elements.
The oar wielded by Charon is a long and slender pole, akin to a robust branch torn from some ancient tree. An unmistakable sense of unease and melancholy permeates the atmosphere, as if the very shadows of sorrow have gathered in the air. This ethereal and somber moment is immortalized in a sculpture, meticulously carved in marble with an astonishing level of detail. The beauty of the instant is captured in each feature, every texture, and every expression sculpted into the stone, carrying with it the essence of that night when Charon navigates the river of lamentation, inspired by the covers of extreme metal bands from Northern Europe
