  • Title: Rit'in hamun (Comes the ice)
  • Artist: Inti Castro
  • Description: From a translated quechua poem:

    "Comes the wind,
    through the night,
    across the highlands.
    With mouth wide open;
    shouting, wailing.
    Comes the wind.

    Comes the ice,
    through the night,
    across the highlands.
    With crystal fingernails;
    sparkling with cold.
    Comes the ice."

  • The use of black and white/icy tones really work well to create a very windy but dark effect. I like that there is that contrast with the black, white, and blue. It makes everything easy to distinguish compared to all icy items. The avatar perfectly fits the poem, too. Extra points for that.
