Artist's Comments

LORELEI
A tragic heroine from German lore. In despair over a faithless lover, she threw herself into the Rhine. In death, she has become a siren that haunts that river to this day, luring sailors to their doom. Neroli, sandalwood, ylang ylang.

Location: underwater. And they had to add chlorine back into the pool the day before we shot. Bastards. I was seeing through a grey film for hours afterwards -_-

A friend of my family claims to have seen this siren. He says that if she asks you to dance with her and you do, you'll be fine, but if you refuse, she'll toss you into the Rhine and try to drown you.

I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who, in His infinite love, died for my sins and the sins of the world, and that He is the ONLY way to heaven. If you do too, and aren’t scared to admit it, copy and paste this into your signature.

Beautiful and eerie, Darien.
With the upper figure suspended in mid-air, my first thought was of a banshee.
But either way, a siren indeed.
