About the work

The image shows a young woman who is clearly charmed by a huge orange octopus. She lovingly holds the animal and smiles at it, in the middle of the jungle. The photo was inspired by the Beatles' song 'Octopus's Garden'. In that song, the octopus garden symbolizes a safe and happy area, where you can go to escape from the problems in the world. The photo seems to be about that too. It is a warm and playful image that raises questions: why is the woman so happy? What does she see in the somewhat slimy but beautiful animal? And what does the animal see in the woman? Are they both there to escape the gray world for a while?
