Mermaids II explores the tension between vulnerability and metamorphosis within the Yctyogenesis universe. The exposed human back — rendered with Aurelio Milera’s characteristic sensitivity to anatomy — evokes fragility, intimacy, and the beauty of the human form. Around it, scales, fins, and hybrid aquatic structures merge seamlessly with flesh, transforming the figure into something both familiar and biologically impossible.

The surrounding fish act as witnesses or companions to this evolutionary shift, suggesting a being caught mid-transition, suspended between memory, body, and the pull of an inevitable new biology.
