The Four Seasons

The Four Seasons is a series of four sculptures that come from a subscriber's poll suggestion.

Each diorama is designed as a standalone composition, but they are all tied together:

• The circular frame they all share represents the cycle:
  it starts in spring, evolves in summer/autumn and completes the full cycle in winter.
  
• The poses are symmetrical: we have two closed poses, one at the beginning of the cycle and one at the end.
  The middle ones are open and free.
  
• We have two dynamic and two static poses. Static poses are for winter and summer, the main seasons.
  Dynamic poses represent change and are assigned to the intermediate seasons (spring/autumn)
  
• Each season is assigned a different culture as a theme.
  There's no special reason for it, other than a personal visual preference of mine.
  
• Each season has their own symbols, flora and fauna fit in the diorama.
  I really liked one of the ideas from the comments to the poll, which suggested a cultural theme to the seasons (you can still see the comment represented in Winter).
  However, instead of having one culture for all four of them, we will have one culture per season.

Winter

"Winter" completes the cycle and brings us to Celtic/Northen cultures.

She is dressed as a witch, inspired by the Queen of Winter from Nordic mythology (albeit a bit younger).

The composition also features a White Stag, Yule logs, candles, berries, pinecones and wooden sculptures of Norse gods and symbols.

Her pose is once again static and closed: Winter is the last of the four.

The frame here is now full: the cycle is complete and will begin anew with the next change
