Octopus |August 21, 2009

Design Story

The octopus is an incredible animal. He masters the art of disguising, and has a smart intelligence. We used korus for his tentacles because they symbolize rebirth, new life, and some octopus species can make their tentacles regrow when lost. Shark teeth symbolize strength and adaptability, and waves are continuity through change, all features being mastered by the octopus.
