Selkie

"Selkie" comes from the mythology of the mermaid - a creature that lives as seals in the sea and shed their skin to become human. The giant fronts of seaweed remind me of these transformative creatures, beautiful glossy skins lying in the shallow turquoise and purple sea anenome filled rock pools.
