Description: __Artist's Statement:__ Acrylic painting of a Portuguese Man of War. These creatures are generally actively avoided because of the extremely painful sting their tentacles deliver when touched. But what is interesting about them is that they are actually a colony of organisms working together not a single animal. The metaphor this conjures of working together while maintaining safe distance is why I chose to paint this beautiful yet dangerous specimen during the quarantine. __Participant age:__ 29 __Category:__ Adult Age 15+: Drawing or Painting
