A portrait of a river mermaid caught between wakefulness and a twilight dream.
Around her head a ring of trout circles slowly, their bodies flashing bronze and silver against the deep water. Their motion is deliberate and gentle, an orbit of living fish that seems almost ceremonial. Each trout’s scales reflect different fragments of the mermaid’s expression: curiosity, melancholy, and a quiet, ancient patience. Occasional bubbles rise where fins skim the surface, rippling small concentric rings that mirror the circling fish.
The composition emphasizes circular movement: the trout’s orbit, the curve of her shoulders, the bend of her hair. Color is restrained—muted greens, and river-stone neutrals—punctuated by the trout’s warm flashes of copper and the mermaid’s cool inner glow.
The overall mood is contemplative and slightly uncanny: not menacing, but not wholly human either. The portrait feels like a paused moment of a private ritual, the mermaid suspended in a dreamscape where the river’s life becomes a crown of living motion.
