Mermaids III explores the tension between beauty, evolution, and identity within the Yctyogenesis universe. The figure is neither human nor aquatic but a fusion of both — a being in perpetual transition. Aurelio Milera uses the iconic mermaid archetype only as a distant echo; here, the creature’s anatomy is reshaped by scales, fins, and internal structures that suggest adaptation rather than fantasy.

The composition hints at intimacy and vulnerability, yet also resilience: a body transforming to survive a changing world. This piece reflects the artist’s broader inquiry into how evolution might rewrite the human form when pushed to its limits.
