My collection, inspired by the myth of the Merrows, those green-haired mermaids of Gaelic mythology, celebrates their intriguing duality. Powerful fish-women and dreamlike creatures, they embody a hypnotic beauty and devastating seductive powers. Between land and sea, they symbolize the fragile balance between underwater freedom and human social constraints. Each piece reflects this complex narrative, exploring the codes of contemporary femininity and formally drawing inspiration from the richness of marine fauna and flora.
