Charon is the minor god of the underworld, whose duty is to ferry over the river of death the souls of the newly deceased. This artwork is an analytical composition, based on a feeling of inner and eternal coldness, reflected in this poem:
Grief will eat through your soul.
A frame of ice from all sides.
Charon is calling out:
“Pass your fare for the ride!”
And outside is all ice.
A thousand cold dead years.
There’s no discount for you,
No discount, he says.
- Ivan Davydov
