"My Mermaid" is a finely drawn portrait of a woman with finger wave hairstyle in the style of the 1920s. Her blue shirt collar slips off her shoulder, and from it, veil-tail fish emerge – light, floating, dreamlike.
The reduced yet detailed drawing plays with symbols of inner emotion and release: the fish represent hidden feelings or dreams gently moving outward. Wave-like motifs run through the image, connecting hairstyle, fabric, and movement. The drawing technique is based on countless deliberately placed pencil lines that create volume, structure, and flow. The restrained use of color emphasizes the line work and gives the piece a dreamlike, almost cinematic atmosphere.
The work is inspired by the aesthetics of classic 1920s films, as well as the natural movement of waves and the graceful, floating forms of veil-tail fish. These elements merge into a poetic depiction of inner depth, softness, and self-revelation. It speaks of letting go, inner strength, and quiet power.
