These are two illustrations inspired by a folk tale of Baba Yaga, a wicked witch in Russian folklore. Made from cut paper and color pencils, these illustrations are meant to capture the scenes in the story.
Baba Yaga is known to live in a cottage which stands and walks on chicken legs. This scene is the first moment where Natasha, our protagonist, sees the house for the first time.
In the story, Natasha hands Baba Yaga's cat a slice of cheese. Grateful for the cheese, the cat helps Natasha escape from the witch's house. This scene is a representation of the moment where Natasha hands the cat the cheese.
