The Thorn Lantern Keeper

Emerging from twisted roots and ancient thorns, The Thorn Lantern Keeper stands as the eternal guardian of cursed pathways. Once a forest spirit, it was consumed by the creeping vines of despair, transforming into this demonic warden that roams between realms. The ornate lantern it holds is said to contain the last flicker of a fallen soul — a light that never fades, yet never warms.This sculpture blends organic growth and gothic horror, its body coiling upward like a vine in agony. The spikes and roots merge into a single, elegant form that makes it both haunting and regal.
