THE RITUAL OF DEATH:A revision of the Egyptian myth
A revision of the Egyptian myth
As a personal exercise I designed props and characters based on the ancient Egyptian ritual of death. Where Thoth, the god of knowledge, and Anubis, the God of Death, weigh a person's soul to determine if they deserve passage to the here after.
For inspiration, I researched traditional Egyptian clothing, craftsmanship and symbolism and applied it to objects associated with the ritual of death.
PERSONAL WORK
Not only written text interests me greatly, but I think the matter of execution of the story, is just as important. By exploring the visual medium myself I believe I gain a better understanding of the ways stories can be told through games and other media.
