In this new version of Falling octopus, Sylvie Bourdeau continues to explore the grace and fluidity of the octopus in motion. With a more pronounced height than his other works in the series, this 50 cm sculpture gives the impression of an octopus in full descent, its tentacles stretching gracefully all around the base. Each tentacle, sculpted with care, seems animated by a life of its own, as if the animal adapted to its environment with ease. The raku technique, with its distinctive color nuances and cracks, gives the animal a fascinating texture, evoking both softness and robustness.

This sculpture echoes other works by Sylvie, such as Pillar octopus, where the artist also plays with form and movement to capture the essence of marine life. Through this collection, Sylvie offers a poetic and detailed vision of nature, by transforming each animal into a mysterious and majestic creature.
