This collage depicts a mystical ritual, a theme drawn by Anna Staritsky from Ukrainian folklore and present in many of her late works. Four characters constructed from crinkled and folded torn paper, stand on a disk spinning through the painted abyss. The addition of dried foliage brings a further material and religious dimension to the work, meditating on questions of nature worship and paganism.
