‘The Aquatic Ape (Our Mercousin?) (2019)
841 x 300 mm, Digital Print
My piece was inspired by ‘The Aquatic Ape Hypothesis’, a controversial theory about the origins of man and suggests that early primates spent some of their time evolving in a semi-aquatic environment, before returning to land. The theory suggests that this could explain how our ancestors’ brains developed (due to the type of food found by water) and certain aspects that only humans have and don’t share with other primates, like our partially webbed fingers. In an alternate world, I imagined some of these primates didn’t return to land and kept on evolving and became what we now know as ‘mermaids’.

The amazing women in the photographs wear their scars as badges of honour. I had the honour to illustrate on top of this beautiful photograph of Tarryn, portraying her as a beautiful and powerful warrior princess. See the full series:
