Sea and savanna

My two favorite pieces in Plet Bolipata-Borlongan's imagiNATION installation at the Ateneo de Manila University were also the most difficult to photograph.

octopus at Plet Bolipata's 'imagiNation' exhibit at the Ateneo de Manila University The bench of the octopi installation is under a large tree with no lights, so I only took a photo of the female octopus. I know it's a "she" because of her curvy, queenly crown; the crown of the male octopus is pointy and kingly.

These are fascinating and I never knew the difference between male and female octopi.

Good for you. I wouldn't have even attempted it. Better to look at... kind of amazing.

This would indeed be very challenging to photograph. Thank you for being up to the challenge.

Beautiful sculptures. The lighting and your selective focus make them look more beautiful.
