About the Item
From John William Waterhouse’s A Mermaid, 1900
We have a wonderful capacity to impose fictions on others in order to make them desirable. We only need a few kernels of possibility to transform a fish into a beautiful mermaid when we’ve exhausted ourselves of all other options.
The lies we tell ourselves about others make the world a more exciting place, or certainly a more comfortable one.
