The inspiration for the "Syrena" sculpture was the wonderful children's book "My Name is Shell" by Holly Bourne. The artist captures the moment when the Mermaid freezes on the shore, emanating her intriguing aura. Her posture is full of dignity and grace, and her gaze directed into the distance suggests that she has an extraordinary journey ahead of her into the world of dreams and adventures.
