A distinct view from below the surface

Our anxieties toward water beings are magnified by our attraction to them. Mermaids and sirens embody this paradoxical nature of water combining both danger and desire. - Hannah Mermaid
Mermaids and sirens are portraited as beautiful and enchanting creatures who lure sailors to their doom with their alluring songs and promises of love. This represents our fascination with the unknown and the forbidden, as well as our fear of being consumed or lost in the depths of the water. - Hannah Mermaid
Yoruba tradition worships Yemaya in multiple cultures: Brazil, Cuba, Haiti, USA and also, Costa Rica. Yemaya is also associated with water goddess Mami Wata, who is a religious cultural phenomenon in African & Caribbean folklore. -Hannah Mermaid
Our fascination with the ocean is represented through captivating tales from all around the world. Mermaids are the metaphor for mystery, beauty and the unknown. Their representation in mythology and folklore often reflects our complex relationship with water. Water is essential for our survival, but it can also be dangerous and unpredictable, causing floods, storms, and drowning. This duality of water can elicit feelings of anxiety, fear, and respect. - Hannah Mermaid at Manzanillo, Limón, Costa Rica
Mermaids and water spirits stories are present in folk and fairy tales as a global phenomenon: from nymphs and selkies in Nordic myths to the goddess Yemanja in Cuban/African yoruba religion. The narratives are as ambivalent as the ocean: powerful, seductive, unpredictable and inspiring. - Claire, La Sirene

The sea is pure mysticism. The fact that we have in our blood the exact percentage of salt that exists in the ocean, makes us merge into its immensity…Which reveals our essence, there are no poses or staged frames… its just us, immersed in the magnificent blue, the surreal feeling of flying, the weightlessness of the ballerina, the oneiric state of a lucid dream… this vast immensity is a cosmic flow for inspiration.

Underwater Maternity is the quintessential capture for magical femininity, all family submerged in this ethereal atmosphere with that sense of protection and belonging, a metaphor of the archetype of the womb.

Exploring below the surface is a meditation: controlling our breath is also controlling our minds. Some say diving is a quest to shatter human limits, but is also recognizing your true self, no reflections or facades.

Let’s experience some magic…
