Echoes of The Last Squid depicts a genomic squid, extinct by the year 2080 but reborn in a digital afterlife. Its body lingers as a fossil, while its spirit drifts through a dreamlike seascape made of light. In this tale, the squid becomes both relic and oracle, reminding us that in the quest for immortality, lost creatures may find ways to live on.

This work reflects on our audacious desire to escape death and to invent new forms of life beyond its natural span. By placing the squid between fossil and simulation, it questions whether immortality is a dream to be embraced or an illusion that unsettles with its unnaturalness. Its absurdity mirrors our own persistence: the refusal to accept endings, the insistence on survival at any cost.
