Group 5 has finished their creative challenge and we are excited to present to you their final photos of the character created. The theme for their challenge was to create an ent in clay, with magical abilities that lives in the deep dark forests of Helsinglight. When we have presented the final work by every creative challenger/contestant in group 5 we will announce the winner of the group that will advance and compete in the finals later on. This is the final result by Florian Schäfer, creative challenger, group 5.
– "The spirit of the land” by Florian Schäfe
Memory of the Ground
We remember.
Since your first steps took your kind from the trees down to earth you walked on us. You took our brood, dug up our surface and even buried the deceased within us. Like leaves fell from the boughs blood flowed down from you and covered the soil for centuries. You took from us, you gave us. Filled us with memories, meaning… and might.
As an unseen fundament of your existence we coexisted below you, breathed the stale air from your lungs and provided the soil for your supremacy. We remained silent, resting.
We grew up in your shadow, vanished in the circle of seasons and grew stronger. We watched you from thousand eyes, observed every step you took. And with the bodies came understanding. Even when you broke through our skin - searching for the liquid gold deep within our body you wasted not even a single thought on the consequences of your deeds.
Time has changed.
We listened to the words of the dead. We grew strong and tall. And now for once and for all our time has come. Crawling twigs will whisper the names of the fallen and the spirits of the soil will stretch upward toward the earth surface. Branches will walk when the renascence of our past becomes a living proof of your foolery. We will retrieve what you took from us. We are the spirits of the land. We are many. And we remember.
