The Sidhe
‘The Sidhe’, commonly known as ‘The Fae’, is a creature that is heard of a lot in rural Ireland. I wanted to honor this creatures deep connection to nature and bring its characteristics to life.
Utilizing silicone prosthetics reminiscent of ancient Irish stone carvings, such as the Triskel, I juxtaposed the hardness of the stone against the softness of lush foliage, symbolizing the Sídhe's role as protector of the natural world.
I added dried sphagnum moss to the head, incorporating it with the rest of the look as a nod to its historical significance in Celtic culture. This unconventional choice of 'hair' not only adds an authentic touch but also serves as a visual representation of the symbiotic relationship between the Sídhe and the land they inhabit.
With careful attention, I aimed to reflect my personal fascination with the Sídhe and their significance in Irish folklore through my design.
