About this artwork
The octopus is a very fascinating creature for the artist, who has used it in different pieces: they can get into small holes, change shape and color, they are a great metaphor for transformation, change and personal challenge.
This piece talks about how we constantly disguise ourselves in the presence of others, seeking acceptance, or integration, or belonging etc.
The sculpture… dimensions include the base size.

« The stories of each character, isolated in an intimate and personal dimension, are reflections on human values, perceptions and emotions. »
Francesca Dalla Benetta is an Italian sculptor based in Mexico. After 10 years working as a makeup artist in the film industry, Dalla Benetta is now a dedicated full-time artist. Her work is characterized by anatomies and mixed forms. Faces and human bodies are combined with different textures, skins and elements, giving rise to hybrid and fantastic beings. Through unusual, strange and surreal bodies, her pieces focus on the problems of transformation, identity, the sense of belonging, self-perception and dreams.
