This papercut is a myth about the balance between man and nature, about the depths that nourish but also punish. The ancestor of the water lord is a guardian spirit and judge, a symbol of the power of the elements that do not obey human will. His image reminds us that water is not only the source of life, but also the eternal memory of the world, in which the truth about creation is preserved.
This is a papercut about the ancient ruler of the water element, the ancestor of whales. The creature controls the life of the underwater world, punishes the insolent, and protects those who respect water. It is a symbol of the primordial ocean from which the earth arose, and of the balance between creation and destruction.
