Behind the Curtain
🕑 Added 2025-05-28 09:24:02 +0000 UTCI stand behind the curtain, still as dust.
They see my silhouette in passing—tall, unmoving—and tell themselves it's a trick of the light. They never pull the curtain back twice.
I don't breathe. I don't blink. I wait.
One day, when their fear fades just enough, they’ll look again.
And this time, I won’t be behind the curtain.
I’ll be right behind them.
As you could already read on my patreon chat - this photoshoot was really spontaneous. I bought some fabric for my next bigger project but decided to have a little bit of fun first.
Love, Erinthul.

Thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate that. I did write this caption. Lately I am trying myself in story telling. I am not good with words but I think they can add a lot to the photos so I am really happy you like it!

Oh! While this might not be mythology– it’s definitely mythic in proportion. To me, the color scheme is reminiscent of one journey I had to the mountains; a bleeding crown – cacophony in silent still; murder conspiring at Duncan’s doorway. (Yes, this is a corvid/MB reference) Also, did you write that caption by the way? It’s haunting and really reflects the narrative, yet leaves it loose which creates an ominous trapped in a tower feeling, as if something is fleshing from the abysmal bleak with each blink of the candle light. Anyhow, your art is something etheric, I can’t wait to see more!
