A vertical rectangular relief sculpture, approximately 1.5 times taller than wide, is centrally mounted on a smooth, light gray wall in an interior space in La Paz, Bolivia. The artwork features a reclining mermaid rendered in a metallic finish, predominantly bronze and gold on her human torso and hair, with significant blue-green (verdigris) patination on her scaly tail and the surrounding underwater environment. The mermaid's upper body is slightly elevated, her head tilted to the right, and her eyes are closed. Her left arm is bent, with her hand positioned behind her head, while her right arm extends downwards. Long, flowing hair cascades around her head and shoulders, merging with the background textures. Her breasts are subtly defined by two seashell-like forms. Her lower body transitions into a detailed, scaly fish tail that curves downwards and to the left. The background depicts a stylized aquatic scene with swirling organic forms suggestive of water currents, rocks, and seaweed. Two small fish are visible in the upper right quadrant, swimming vertically. A prominent, light blue-green conch shell rests near the mermaid's waist on the left side of the frame. The bottom section includes textured elements resembling small rocks or underwater flora. The entire relief is enclosed within a simple, light-colored wooden frame. A small, dark mounting fixture or screw is visible on the light gray wall to the right of the frame. The artwork is illuminated from the upper left, creating soft shadows that enhance its three-dimensional relief.
