Nereids are mythological Greek creatures who protect those in, or on, the sea. Doto is the Nereid of safe voyage. Starting with my photograph of the beach, I digitally drew a nereid onto it, before printing onto sustainable bamboo paper. I embroidered parts of the image, and used geo textiles and other debris found on the same beach to create clothes and hair for Doto, The debris falls onto the beach during coastal erosion. In my image, Doto is sitting in a boat wreck which was uncovered on the ebach in Pakefield in Suffolk. No AI.
