Will​-​O​-​the​-​Wisp

about

The will-o'-the-wisp can be found in numerous folk tales around the world and is depicted as an atmospheric ghost light, resembling a flickering lamp or lantern, seen by travelers at night, especially over bogs, swamps or marshes.

In Welsh folklore, it is said that the light is "fairy fire" held in the hand of a púca, or pwca, a small goblin-like fairy that mischievously leads lone travellers off the beaten path at night. As the traveller follows the púca through the marsh or bog, the fire is extinguished, leaving them lost. The púca is said to be one of the Tylwyth Teg, or fairy family. In Wales the light predicts a funeral that will take place soon in the locality.

The piece I created is full of mysterious voices and sounds leading the unexpected to their demise.
