Odense is a fairytale city. In the parks or along the roadsides, you will see a total of 16 sculptures and statues depicting characters from Andersen's fairytales. Here by the lake, the mermaid appears.

The mermaid is a mythical and magical creature who lures people to their deaths with her song and beautiful body. This mermaid stands on a 3-4 meter high base, allowing us to view her from the depths of the ocean. Another distinctive feature of the sculpture is the abnormal head-to-body ratio. However, this is a result of the water's reflection, which occurs when looking up from the depths. The sculpture is made of bronze, and the base is granite. It was unveiled on June 20, 1998. The mermaid's body displays sexual energy, emphasized by the slightly separated legs and the noticeable genitals, which are only gathered near the feet in a fin. The intensity of her sexuality is highlighted as something raw and dangerous, something to which one can immerse oneself. The sculpture's expression is almost the antithesis of the traditional understanding of the conventional innocence and beauty of the mermaid. Hans Pauli Olsen (1957-) was born in the Faroe Islands. Many of his sculptures focus on human forms, often with a mystical, underlying quality. They are expressive and naturalistic in their depiction. Many of his creations are made in clay before being cast in bronze. This process makes the artist's creative process clearly visible in the final sculpture.
