The Merman is part of the sculpture group "Gate to world" at the harbor in Fuglafjørður. The group consists of five large iron sculptures depicting a boulder gate, suggestive of the entrance to old Faroese houses. The sculptures are inspired by the Faroese writer and artist William Heinesen's paper cuts and his universe of sea people.

The sculptures were made in connection with an art festival in 2004 in Fuglafjørður called Man and Myth.
