Synopsis:


The world is overrun with fear, selfishness and greed. I would like to show the character of a witch who opposes them. A superhero who collects garbage, she is capable of turning the barren, dilapidated area of the seabed into a land full of biodiversity and harmony. She came from a parallel universe and her name is Harmonia. For our Earth, unfortunately, it’s a utopia - no witch is coming to save us. Still, we may wish to consider being a little bit like her.

 

This particular style of Harmonia is inspired by old Slavic legends from Poland. The characteristic folk ornamentation carries universal meanings, easy to discern anywhere in the world where similar fairy tales have been told for generations.
