Man O' War- new etching

Man-O-War, 5"x7", etching and aquatint, ed. 20, 2014.

This piece is based on the Portuguese Man O' War. While it may have the appearance of a jellyfish, it's actually a Siphonophore. This organism is made up of multiple individual creatures called zooids that function and act as one creature.  However, zooids can not function on their own and they depend on each other for survival.
