"I am Lithuanian and Lithuania is the last pagan country in Europe. In pagan tradition, people who had different colour eyes were called "Children of hags". The Pagan's believed that if there was a newborn with different colour eyes, it meant that there was a hag that had come at night and changed the children - The witch gave one of her eyes to the child in exchange for one of the child's eyes.
I started to photograph this project about a year ago and so far i have found the most "Children of hags" in Lithuania. I can only presume that (even if Lithuania itself, which has 3.000.000 inhabitants and people with heterochromia are only three people in a million) because Lithuania kept pagan traditions quite long, people with different colour eyes did not suffer from the inquisition as much.
