Description
The Mermaid is the main character of the Danish fairy-tale The Little Mermaid (1837), written by H.C. Andersen. She makes the transition from being a mermaid to becoming human. She represents the human experience of becoming human – entering language, the order of society and falling in love. I believe her story is about the human condition to which we all enter when we are born.

Credits
