These masks are influenced by Baba Yaga character in her role of an ancient earth goddess, which stands between the world of dead and living creatures. As often in some versions of myths closed eyes or physical inability to see replaces death of a personage or their connection to the other world.

​

The masks were shown at The Bare Minimum group show (London, 2017). A video-publication was made by the end of the event.
