The Ultimate Mother dedicated to her children’s survival- the majestic Octopus. Inspired by Mother’s Day, I wanted to create a piece that brings together all the beautiful symbolism found in nature. Interestingly enough, most octopuses are semelparous, meaning they mate, reproduce, and die in a single life cycle. Female octopuses die after reproducing because of primitive intuition, they do the ultimate sacrifice to protect their eggs until their last moment of life. Flowers such as Lily, Orchids, and Carnations all have deep symbolism of pure love, maternal gratitude, and admiration. Together, I wanted to weave these symbolic parts of nature in ode to the beauty that is ‘Motherhood'.
Specifications: 18 × 24 Canson Bristol Paper in bright white with Black Vellum Ink and Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils. One-Of-A-Kind Original.
