Honorable Mention
El Pulpo Magnifico
Mark Fromson, Canada
El Pulpo Magnifico
DESCRIPTION
El Pulpo Magnifico rises 28 feet above the ground, a massive octopus sculpted from the cast-off remnants of metal and aluminum. Its shimmering surface, crafted from the reflections of kitchen utensils and hidden gems salvaged from thrift shops, sparkles like a cascade of diamonds against the dark expanse of the playa's night.

With eight sinuous tentacles swaying in a mesmerizing dance and eight eyes gazing deep into the hearts of those who approach, El Pulpo Magnifico breathes fire, sending jets of flame roaring 30 feet into the sky. It’s a spectacle that evokes the vision of a twisted clockwork creature brought to life by a mischievous puppeteer with a passion for glitz and pyrotechnics. As the fiery beast chases away the desert's evening chill, it wraps everyone in its presence with a thrilling embrace of warmth and awe.
