[ID: A digital painting of an older merperson underwater, staring intently at the viewer with dark eyes and a harpoon in her right hand. She has dark skin, short white hair, a bare torso with sagging breasts, and traditional Inuit tattoos on her face, chest, right hand, and left upper arm. The left arm ends just below the tattoo, at the elbow. Her tail is that of a beluga with more tattoos on the flukes. The water behind her shows light coming from above and cold darkness below. The painting is signed by the artist, accompanied by print reading “Aeroknot ‘19” /end ID]
