Description According to a Syrian legend, the first mermaid came into being as the result of an ill-fated romance between a goddess, Atargatis, and her mortal lover. After accidentally killing her partner, Atargatis took to the water, hoping to transform into a fish to escape her shame and agony. However, her beauty was too potent to be concealed by the waters completely, and only the lower half of her body turned into a fish, leaving her with the upper body of a woman. Since then, mermaids, are often associated with maritime disasters such as storms, shipwrecks and drownings, or often act as omens of those perils. In many cases, mermaids were said to intentionally lure men to a watery grave; in others, the mermaids accidentally killed the sailors they fell in love with, forgetting their lovers inability to breathe underwater as they dragged them beneath the waves.
Ramon Dominguez, Berthoud Colorado Member Since February 2010 Artist Statement Ramón Domínguez Neri, born in Mexico City in 1974, developed a deep passion for marine life at a young age. Inspired by a children's book and a documentary film by Mexican explorer Ramón Bravo, he dedicated his life to the oceans. Since 1995, he has worked as a dive master and instructor, using his self-taught photography skills to capture the beauty and importance of the underwater world. His work serves as a reminder of the crucial relationship between humanity and the oceans, urging us to change our interaction with them. Ramón's photography is not just a visual representation of the sea, but a reflection of his own identity and values.
