There's an element of morbidity here - because the bits of shards on the ground feel like "blood", and the ghoul like shadows lurking in the fog-shrouded background. But, his expression - of desperate hope - keeps trying to convince me otherwise.

What feels amiss is that, the possibly morbid concept of 'carving a human out of stone' and the sinister vibes the background gives - doesn't match up with the old guys expression.



Is this meant to be foreboding?
