About the art
Artist statement
Mermaid dancing with octopus and dreaming about her beloved. Sometimes she is happy and sometimes she is awakened from her dreams.
In Andersen's original mermaids live for 300 years. It is much longer than human life. Therefore mermaids are doomed to long for their lovers.
"They had more beautiful voices than any human being could have; and before the approach of a storm, and when they expected a ship would be lost, they swam before the vessel, and sang sweetly of the delights to be found in the depths of the sea, and begging the sailors not to fear if they sank to the bottom. But the sailors could not understand the song, they took it for the howling of the storm. And these things were never to be beautiful for them; for if the ship sank, the men were drowned, and their dead bodies alone reached the palace of the Sea King." (H. C. Andersen)
