Anton Konashuck’s A Mermaid Love tells a story both magical and haunting. The series captures a love that is unconventional, set against a world that is both fantastical and unsettling. At its center is a mermaid rescued from pollution by a man, a narrative that immediately draws the viewer into a space where wonder and realism collide. Yet the series is careful to remind us that not all stories conclude with happily ever after.
