SIREN

Bilbao, Spain

Sirena is a refined stainless-steel sculpture by Dora Salazar, reinterpreting the classic mermaid figure in a minimal, polished form. Crafted from laser-cut and welded steel tubing and panels, the silhouette evokes a serene yet powerful presence, its reflective surface engaging with light and architecture.

Standing at approximately human height, Sirena merges femininity and modern elegance, transforming myth into urban sculpture. Its materiality—smooth, cool stainless steel—distills the mermaid’s organic essence into clean, linear geometry, inviting viewers to reflect on identity, myth, and the contemporary body.

Salazar’s work often engages with themes of womanhood, memory, and form. With Sirena, she continues her exploration of feminine presence in public space, conveying both strength and delicate beauty through a subtle, modern aesthetic.
