Known online by her mermaid persona, Mermaid Hunny, Hanim got into the art of “mermaiding” to feel free and at peace.
'I do a lot of research on fishes and other aquatic animals in terms of their colours, body patterns, fluke and fin shapes,' says Hanim, who has a background in biology. Photo: Hanim PahronAriel sings the memorable line, “I want to be where the people are”.“As much as I love the movie, I couldn’t relate to Ariel wanting to become a human – I wanted to become a mermaid!” says Hanim in a recent poolside interview at her apartment in Selayang, Selangor.
It didn’t look like much, but in the videos she posts to her Instagram account, the pools Hanim swim in transform into ethereal underwater realms as she twists and turns gracefully through the water. Once she found a tail maker that was open to printing her designs, Hanim got to work. It helped that she has over 12 years of experience in digital art and graphic design.
“In the mermaiding community, there’s no room for mistakes, especially if you have customers from overseas. I’m the only one in Malaysia offering mermaid tail designs in this format , so I wanted to take my time and get it right.” However, Hanim adds that some of the most interesting designs - for mermaids and mermen - that she’s come up with came purely from her own imagination.
