With a full display of art delights in Room 1.31, all are welcome to this vernissage!

Sculpture: Octopus on a spy mission

The Octopus is in despair due to the current environmental crisis, so he has come out of the ocean to see the people on earth, and to see what is happening around the world. His goal is to appeal to humankind to save our planet. The Octopus has been created from a dead tree turned upside down, as a symbol of today’s world situation.
