Inspired by the Paris metro entrances designed by Hector Guimard, a master of Art Nouveau, the artist created Ark of the Abyss, a monumental work 3.30 meters high. This arch takes the form of an octopus with generous tentacles, its contours evoking Gothic plant motifs. The hammered brass, worked with virtuosity, lends the piece a presence that is both spectacular and enigmatic, inviting the viewer into an imaginary and unknown world.

With Ark of the Abyss, Quentin Garel expresses both a sense of unease and a certain irony regarding the fate of animals and humans in a rapidly changing world.
