Many believe that Rasaalika means mermaid in Russian. The Russian word русалка (pronounced Rusalka) refers to a figure from Slavic folklore — often portrayed as a beautiful water spirit, but one that carries both allure and ambiguity, far more complex than the Western notion of a mermaid. Whether coincidence or twist of fate, the name echoes the essence of her work: moving between worlds, revealing what lies in the depths, and transforming it into stories that can be deeply felt above it.
