Item Description
This mural depicts a large brown octopus mixed with peacock feathers and a human-like figure. The octopus is the focus of the mural. The body of the octopus is painted in a palette of browns, while its suckers are painted in a palette of blue. The peacock feathers almost resemble the suckers as they intertwine into the octopus's tentacles. The tentacles wrap around and burst through a portrait of a blue human-like figure wearing headphones that emerges from the mud-cracked ground, perhaps representing Burning Man since the business upon which the mural is painted, The Melting Pot World Emporium, is one of the leading retailers of Playa gear in the area. The figure stares out into the distance. A tentacle bursts through the middle portrait, which depicts the Burning Man logo centered in the Burning-Man-Playa landscape with planets hanging in the night sky above. The last portrait is a circus-style wall sign for the The Melting Pot. A curtain opens up to a stage with silhouettes of people dancing in front of an earth with sun rays around it. The background of the entire mural is painted a bright red, contrasting the aquatic and desert ambiance of the subject matter.
