The Little Mermaid
From 2018 to 2020, I had the opportunity to work on the New Hans Christian Andersen Museum in Odense, Denmark. EVENT Communications, a global exhibition/ experience design agency, contacted me for the project.
I was tasked with creating all the illustrations for the museum. The art direction was led by Stuart Williams and Eithne Owens from EVENT team, alongside Henrik Lübker from HCA Hus.
The Little Mermaid’s story is told through four animations concealed inside glass “bubbles” within The Little Mermaid scenography. Each animation tells part of the story of what happens to her when she leaves the underwater palace. I illustrated four key scenes from the tale: The Little Mermaid rescuing the Prince, her encounter with the Sea Witch, the Prince’s marriage to the Princess and the moment when she refuses to kill him, ultimately transforming into a daughter of the air.
Animations by George Shelbourn of MUTE Studio.
