It doesnt look like it is guarding anything, nor there is anything in the picture evoking chaos.
Looks more like a shaman doing a sacrifice or some kind of ritual, you can play with that, do some research about pagan rituals and festivities, i´m sure you will find something interesting.
Yeah. the thing is that nature itself is a work chaos. It's a concept that puts humanity as a world of order and construction and nature as Satan. It's antagonist. It's really more based on the movie "Antichrist" were it puts mankind as enemy of nature. This would be like a shaman, yes. But as any priest or spiritual authority is more of a guardian of those rites. He protects and takes care of the rites for them to be maintained into posterity.
The fact that is a person in a costume makes you wonder if it's a human or not. But that's what you infer. because you can see a human shape. It's completely transformed and surrendered into death and blood. Life as death. Nature as Shaitan. So acknowledging the victory of Nature over Man.
It's messy. I think I have to think better about it still, but the main topic is there.
