    Honorable Mention in Fine Art / Other

The cartoon "The Little Mermaid" from Disney was created in 1989. In the year of my birth, it was this film that I first saw when I was little. I was amazed and anticipated by the little mermaid Ariel. Her bravery, serenity, responsibility and some childish naivety still amaze me. And most importantly, her constant passion for exploration, passion for a new and wonderful world about which she knows nothing. Nevertheless, the willingness to make a deal with the sea witch for the sake of being human. That's why this film became a source of inspiration for my photo series.
