Helga Renders

Between Two Worlds is inspired by the original tale of The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen.

The work captures the moment she gives up her voice to become part of a world that does not belong to her. A choice born of longing and hope, yet one that severs her from who she once was.

Voiceless and unanchored, she floats between two realms. Her body carries the silence of all she has surrendered — out of love, not weakness.

She loses herself in a space where nothing is certain, except her devotion. And even as her dream fades, she chooses not vengeance or despair — but the life of the one she loves.
