Artwork description:

An underwater photograph of a reflection in the inner side of the water surface. This is not a painting, this is an actual photograph of a topless young woman reflecting in the water surface - from the series The other side REFLECTIONS.

Every mermaid dreams of meeting a prince and getting human legs instead of her green tail. This is a big secret mermaids never tell you. I know it because The Other Side Mirror can read their minds. Here it is, a reflection of a little mermaid with her tail turning into legs. It is not a tail anymore neither legs yet. It reminds of the Möbius Stripe, the stripe with two sides and only one surface. You can spend your whole life running along the infinite Möbius Stripe still getting nowhere. Like a mermaid dreaming of human legs.
