Octopus. I assembled the sculpture from various found objects. The main detail that determined the theme of this sculpture was a bronze propeller that I bought at a flea market. Then I looked for details to make an octopus. Main parts: lamp cover, bronze vase, set of flexible metal hoses with magnetic tips, which are used in car repair. Since the sculpture is assembled from various metals, it was necessary to give it a general shade. I used spray paint, acrylic and varnish, giving it a hint of green patina. The sculpture depicts the remains of a long-sunken ship, which is guarded by an octopus. This is his home, now he is the captain of the ship.
