Do mermaids exist?

Thousands of children come to the Perth Fringe World Festival’s mermaid tank to see real mermaids every year. And not just children; it seems there is a force that finds me in front of the tank year after year.

Maybe it’s the action and escape from the ordinary that attracts my street photographer’s eye. But I think underneath is the beauty of a child dreaming that mermaids really do exist.

It represents an easily lost innocence that I have tried to hold onto for as long as I can. This photo series depicts my own childlike perspective of the magic of mermaids.

This exhibition is outdoors. Please check what COVID-19 restrictions are in place before you visit.
