MerDogs was completed in February 2017 by Lily Keenan.
Lily says:
‘Merdogs’ merges botany with fantasy. These happy sea dogs drift together in harmony with the ocean, each of their ‘tails’ are inspired by a different type of marine botany. This work draws on the folklore of mermaids who were traditionally half-human guardians of the sea. As we continue to pollute and jeopardise our oceans, this work can serve as a reminder of our seamless connection to the water that sustains us. This mural was done in support of Casa Congo, a sustainable development movement in Astillero Nicaragua that uses art and surfing to encourage a respect and love of the ocean. www.casacongo.org
