Deconstructing an Octopus

In searching for materials for this assignment, I was particularly attracted by the slender structure of my tripod. Like the legs of an iron octopus — this idea came to mind and inspired me to create an “industrial octopus monster”. The idea of octopus naturally led me to use my ink bottle as the head. Then, to create a sense of suspension, I found this place in my res hall that has an EXIT sign shining in bold red light and took pictures of the objects there. Lastly, combined the two pictures through procreate. Done! An elegant metal octopus lurking in the corner of the basement.
