Octopus is a sound device. Its sculptural form resembles that of an octopus. It has a head that sprays water when a red button on the keyboard is pressed. Another 8 switches activate valves that open, allowing compressed air to escape through conduit pipes. A whistle with various unpredictable notes is produced. The sound resembles the lament of an unknown animal. Unique of its kind. To build this work, materials found entirely in construction material stores were used. A makeshift arrangement is used in this process by modifying the original function of these materials.
