About this sculpture
A small artwork about the power of imagination to provide an escape from a world of anguish.

The chest, covered with skulls, melted figures and horror is opened to find a world of beauty and prettiness, all made by the multi-armed occupant. The cell window what was from the outside the nose of a skull is, from the inside, a love-heart.

Technical details
The work began with a wooden chest, then augmented with epoxy clay and plastic parts, later painted and layered with metal leaf, then overpainted and decorated to create an aged effect.

The interior uses wallpaper, cloth, zirconium crystals and a large pyrite crystal to create an aura of gilded prettiness, playthings of the sculpted cephalopod.
