First Prize: 'I’d like to be… the Octopus’ | Artist: Rachel Scholich

After watching “My Octopus Teacher,” touched by the connection of the filmmaker to the marine creature, Rachel came upon a unique piece of driftwood whilst exploring Stokes Bay in Kangaroo Island. This spurred her stunningly realistic 3D rendition of an octopus out of sticks and shells.
