Artist Reply: Thank you from the comment Tim. These kind of personifications were used to explain nature wonders like stars, moon, sun ect.. In Finland there are also some myths that have mixed with christian legends. It's very difficult to know what was the original story. I've always been facinated by old finnish beliefs that's where I get the inspiration.
