A pregnant mermaid moves through a moment of quiet certainty, where the weight of choice is both deeply personal and inseparable from the world around her.
Choice emerged with a clarity that felt less constructed than revealed, carrying themes of autonomy, vulnerability, and embodied decision-making. The figure remains self-contained, holding autonomy as ownership rather than conflict.
Created during a time of shifting women’s rights in North America, the work holds an undercurrent of collective tension while leaving space for the viewer’s own interpretation.
There is no question posed here. Only the presence of a decision already made.
A turning point in the artist’s practice, this piece brings a heightened level of clarity, restraint, and emotional precision. One that lingers.
Materials: Basswood, paint, gilding paste, varnish
Measures: 68cm x 23cm x 6 cm
