I went with an abstract idea for the project, that of the idea of government being embodied by the shape of a pyramid, and the many variations and intrusiveness of governments as the tentacles. Adding to that the colors are meant to reinforce those ideas as well; green of course being the color of both money and greed, both things governments struggle with. Purple in ancient times was usually reserved for royalty because of the expense of obtaining it, plus the fact that many leaders and governments have declared themselves ordained by a higher power to do whatever they think is necessary. Which in turns reinforces the idea of government intruding into every aspect of ones life, with the many tentacles.
Like the proposed idea that creation began in a primordial soup and sprang forth from such, I choose to mimic that idea with having my object upon a beach. As when governments are created or ran, those involved think they have the best ideas and that they will create a paradise on earth, hence the beach.
