Bored Mermaids 2021

"Bored Mermaids" (2021) by Zoe Hawk depicts four mermaids sitting on a beach. The mermaids are all dressed in yellow, with a variety of hair colors and skin tones, suggesting diversity. They appear to be bored, as seen in their expressions and postures. The overall tone of the painting is lighthearted, with a touch of whimsy. This work, painted in a contemporary style, challenges traditional representations of mermaids and explores the themes of boredom, identity, and representation.
