Description
“My deep love for the ocean is inspired by its contrasting energy which are both powerful and peaceful. This mermaid sculpture arose from my fascination and connection to a secret rock pool on the edge of the ocean which, to some of us locals, is known as “The Magic Mussel Pool.” The path to this pool requires a tricky clamber down many rocks, but once standing at the edge of its beauty, a whispered “Wow” escapes one’s lips.
The patterns and shapes of the sea creatures living in the pool inspired the texture of my mermaid’s tail and hair. I wanted her to feel as if she was a living part of the breathing sea life within the pool. The use of bronze gives the sculpture a sense of timelessness, created through the ancient lost wax method of casting, which involves the natural elements of heat, water, and air. The polished stainless steel base complements the nautical theme, and the reflection of the sculpture on its surface enhances the magic and movement., just like water
I wanted to evoke a feeling of spontaneous, and magical surprise. The feeling of the complex interplay between a human experience like visiting ‘The Magic Mussel Pool’ and the various facets of our lives. This mermaid embodies different aspects of feminine power: Persephone symbolizes the duality of innocence and maturity, life and death, while Aphrodite represents love, attraction, and the creative force of nature. She teaches us that within each woman lies the strength of the ocean, the magic of creation, and the timeless beauty of the natural world.”
