The Lonely and the Mermaid

The Lonely and the Mermaid began as an exploration of two contrasting characters being from completely different worlds whose paths unexpectedly cross. The project started as a visual and narrative study of connection, difference, and belonging, expressed through a series of original illustrations.

Over time, this concept evolved into a more developed story, which I rewrote and reimagined with a new collection of illustrations. This transformation led to the creation of my children's book, Bear and Shark which is a continuation of the same emotional themes and dynamic though a fresh lens and a new set of characters.
