Untitled 4 (The Mermaid's Dilemma)

Rendered in meticulous monochrome stippling, the scene drifts between lullaby and fever dream: a woman clings to a seahorse-like guardian while another figure surfaces from patterned water, as if memory itself were trying to breathe. Oversized, spotted mushrooms loom like parasols of the unconscious, their rhythmic repetition compressing space into a theatrical shallow stage where protection and peril coexist. The curled tail, floating note, and lotus buds become quiet emblems of metamorphosis—messages half-said—suggesting that tenderness here is not innocence but a fragile pact with an enchanted, unstable world.
