Under the Sea is a textured and celebratory piece inspired by the iconic Disney movie The Little Mermaid, paying homage to its latest adaptation featuring Halle Bailey. This artwork reimagines the beloved character through the lens of inclusivity, representation, and cultural pride, celebrating the transformative impact of seeing a new generation inspired by this historic portrayal.
The centerpiece of the artwork is a striking 3D face adorned with vibrant red hair, symbolizing strength, individuality, and connection to the classic story. The hair is intricately embellished with red seashells, evoking imagery of the ocean’s treasures while adding texture and dimension to the piece. The composition creates the illusion of being submerged, as if the figure is gracefully floating in water, a nod to the character's underwater world.
The piece combines vibrant color, layered textures, and symbolism to celebrate both the nostalgia of the original film and the excitement of its reimagining. It reflects themes of transformation, exploration, and the beauty of representation in modern storytelling, inviting viewers to dive into a world where dreams and cultural significance collide.
