Awake 21: Den lille havfrue is a lyrical and poignant reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid, set against the quiet rhythms of a modern world. A young girl, born with a condition that weakens her legs, watches her sister run freely and dreams of a life beyond her reach. One summer afternoon, she sits beside her sister’s friend, a swimmer, and their conversation sparks a longing deep within her - a yearning for freedom, for the embrace of the ocean.

Driven by this unfamiliar yearning, she steps into the sea, where she begins to confront both her own limitations and the deep, silent power of the water. With each wave, she discovers a transformation within herself, embarking on a journey of self-discovery and quiet courage. Awake 21: Den lille havfrue is a haunting meditation on love, resilience, and the beauty found in surrendering to the flow of life.

Art for emotional connection, a story for self-discovery. The premium color paperback, now available!
