I made this project as a final work for the course "Color, Light, and Atmosphere" from Smirnov School.
As a basis, I took the image of rusalkas from Slavic mythology. Rusalkas are not mermaids even though in modern culture these concepts are mixed. They are spirits associated with nature, which can harm a person when they meet. Belief says that drowned unbaptized children and maidens become rusalkas.
If you don’t want to bring on your head trouble, don’t go for a walk in Rusalia at night through the forest
