Description

Jeeyoon and I created an artwork that re-imagines the classic mermaid story with a dark and thought-provoking twist. Rather than focusing on true love, our version explores the concept of identity and the conflicts that arise from it. We assume a world where there are wars and killings between humans and fish races.

The artwork depicts a mermaid who has just awakened from an illusion and finds itself locked in a dark and damp dungeon. The story follows the mermaid's journey as it tries to escape this nightmare and discover its true identity. The piece highlights the idea that different identities can bring disasters, but sometimes, it can also help one escape a catastrophe. The final scene of the artwork leaves open to interpretation whether the mermaid has finally found the peace and identity it seeks.
