Mattias Wallin - The Artist, and the (Cyclical) Food Chain -- Matryoshka Dolls ~ Set 3

This 3rd set of Matryoshka dolls are different from the others, because majority of the characters are "dead" - umm...that's why they have their eyes closed....except for the bacteria, silly! :P

I wasn't sure who I could give this set to, as I didn't want to offend the receiver.

After a quick conversation with the Lille Prinsen, it was decided that this set will travel to Gamleby, Sverige where they will keep Mattias Wallin - a most talented Artist/Svensk God/(Brother) Werewolf company, and will follow him to Göteborg at a later date.

Perhaps, I will let the visuals from Mattias' video project illustrate why my (Cyclical) Food Chain Matryoshka dolls were perfectly suited for him:

And so in life, there is death.
