About MeConstructed from yellow and black acrylic mosaic with red plastic jointed tentacles, this brooch is the result of time-consuming and meticulous work. Chang has used low value materials to create a piece of wearable art.

If the black and yellow mosaic reminds you of a spider, then the number of legs might have you questioning yourself. Perhaps they’re actually tentacles, and it’s not a spider design at all…
