Mermaid
By Hans Bølling
At a ?rst glance, the Mermaid reminds one of the famous H.C. Andersen fairy tale and is perhaps the one thing
most people associate with Denmark.
Part woman, part ?sh her features demonstrate that Hans Bølling’s Mermaid is much more than a mere
character from a fairy tale.
Having taken the feminine form beyond the expected, Bølling provided the Mermaid with serenity and
wholesomeness. Her character is relevant in today’s time as it brings with it a much needed harmony and
balance.
