In the words of the artist:
“In this cyanotype, the siren emerges twice — once as a spectral human form, and again in the sweeping, winged silhouette of a manta ray. The siren’s body is shaped by light filtered through a veil of weathered plastic, while the manta ray’s form rises from the ghosted lattice of discarded fishing net. Together, they embody the myth and reality of the siren: the imagined enchantress whose song lures sailors, and the living ocean dweller whose graceful presence calls us back to the water. Both are bound to the sea’s beauty and its peril, their fates entangled with humanity’s long history of floating within balance and slipping grossly outside of that balance for too long. These non coporial beings offer us a warning that we must seek balance, lest we end up like them, just ghosts, the mistakes of our past and a stark reminder of the inherent and vital ties we have to our oceans.”
