In both the ancient greek and contemporary english language the word psychopomp refers to spirit entities that guide the recently deceased to the places of the dead.
These five entities are part of a growing community of psychopomps that currently comprises approximately forty entities. Standing purposefully on individually crafted bases, these shape-shifting figures aim to evoke and embody the supernatural and the human.
