Description: This life-sized statue depicts a man seated in despair, his hands clutching his head. Behind him, a shadowy figure carved in jet-black obsidian rises, its hand resting on the man’s shoulder as though claiming him. The shadow’s face is deliberately left blank, making it an unnerving presence that leaves much to the viewer’s imagination. Location: Displayed in the Hall of Mourning in Ilik-Ving, a popular destination for scholars and alchemists studying the interplay of fear and the human psyche.
