Sleeping Mermaid

The Sleeping Mermaid in Edgewater is a singular art installation that captures the quiet stillness of the Hudson River waterfront. Unlike traditional monuments, this piece is carved into the natural rock of the shoreline, making it appear as if the figure is rising directly from the riverbed itself. The sculpture depicts a mermaid in a moment of repose, resting against the jagged stone as the tides wash around her. It serves as a permanent, meditative presence, grounding the busy industrial history of this shoreline in a moment of mythic fantasy.
