Sea sirens are noted for their ferocity, impregnability, and beautiful appearance. Usually they fascinate sailors, luring them to their doom. But not this time. Here the siren is trapped. Who was able to subdue her? An octopus. All eight of his tentacles reach for the ethereal beauty of the beautiful Siren.
Where will his tentacles take her? What intimate places will its suction cups touch? Maybe this is punishment for the hundreds of ruined lives of sailors, or maybe there is a deeper metaphor behind the octopus tentacles. But this is for you to decide, dear viewer.
