Sideshow artists teamed with sculptor Greg Tozer and Mary Maclachlan of Weta Workshop and designer David Marti of DDT Efectos Especiales (the design and effects house for the film) to create an exquisite representation of one of the most central scenes from the film. Tozer and Maclachlan have captured the hauntingly sorrowful expression of ghost character “Santi, the one who sighs,” a boy who mysteriously disappeared from the orphanage the film is centered around. Positioned behind him is the massive and rusting unexploded bomb, which was deposited into the courtyard of the orphanage during the Spanish Civil War. The juxtaposition of the innocent boy ghost in the shadow of the unstable bomb makes for a beautifully disturbing piece of artwork.
