Narrate a tale as old as time but Fashion
UNDER reinterprets the classic tale of The Little Mermaid from a contemporary perspective, where traditional roles are reversed and the narrative becomes more ambiguous and visceral. In this story, it is the prince who is rescued from the water, while the mermaid faces a silent dilemma: save him or let him sink.
Project Overview
UNDER offers a contemporary reinterpretation of The Little Mermaid, shifting the traditional narrative into a more ambiguous and emotionally complex realm. In this version, the mermaid is the one who rescues the prince from the sea, but this act of salvation is neither immediate nor unquestionable. The moment she holds him in her arms, a silent tension arises: to save him or let him sink.
The editorial explores this moment suspended between compassion and desire, between power and vulnerability. Through translucent materials, pearls, ropes, and fluid silhouettes that evoke the movement of water, a visual universe is constructed where both characters are trapped in a relationship of dependence and attraction.
The mermaid ceases to be merely a romantic or sacrificial figure, becoming instead a subject with agency and the capacity for decision-making. UNDER thus presents a narrative where the sea symbolizes the emotions that dwell beneath the surface: desire, control, moral ambiguity, and the freedom to choose another’s fate.
