Echoing mermaid mythology, where the creature embodies a yearning for freedom as well as the allure and danger of the unknown, Hibernating Mermaid dwells in the space between desire and death. Here, a naked woman floats in dark green water, suspended as if waiting for something. The camera lingers on the body's curves and skin in a voyeuristic exploration filled with both pleasure and panic. Is she sleeping or drowning? Is she alive or has she passed away? Tapping in the muddy waters of unconsciousness, Hibernating Mermaid is a dreamlike meditation on unfulfilled longing, eroticism, and the silent pull of the deep.
