My bio-mechanical octopus is the main character of “Inevitable Futures”, a submission for the fifth edition of PROPAGANDA LA REVISTA, an online Latin magazine. The theme of the piece focuses on global warming and environmental concerns.

I chose to create a mutant octopus with a stylized gasmask to symbolize the multi-pronged horrors of environmental and climate change. The creature rides on the earth, rather than in its native oceanic habitat. The background has a dark post-nuclear feel, but the sci-fi aspect makes the work more accessible.
