As an image La Siren (a Vodou Deity, Goddess of the Sea and Spirit of the Water) is rare for Philippe-Auguste. This early work dated 1963, was made just a few years after the artist joined the Centre d'Art. The fishtailed Mermaid, whose Kreyol name derives from the French (La Sirene) is accompanied with a serpent that may also symbolize the Iwa of the water. She has the ability to bring riches, romance and brings the promise of good things to come. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
