Ana passes among the fish, and her hair transforms into the flow of the water. Shades of blue and green immerse the viewer in an underwater world, preserving the mysterious mood of a fairy tale. The waves above and the fringe below transform the tapestry into a piece of a river.

I wanted to present a familiar image without conventional fairy-tale illustrations or a direct reproduction of Tatar ornament.
