Mare Mosso (or Green Mermaids)

Human bodies submerged in moving seas. One hardly sees the contours of a person in all the movements, but we instantly feel and realize the presence of somebody out there. Is it a person or is it a myth? Do mermaids exist? Have you ever spotted one in boiling seas?

The moment you believe having detected one on the surface, an illusion may have tricked you - one can look into the direction again but nothing catches the eye. Everything happens under the surface, hidden undercover - similar to a diving body. Thus, everything to us above the water remains a myth. 

In this respect the sea submerges humans or human en mass submerge in the sea. In just an instant, the vast and powerful moving sea can overtake a human tragedy.
