| A bigger dolphin school in unpolluted water, on the other side we can see what pollution means. Some of the original dolphins were replaced by other teak wood, as they could not be saved even by gluing. The iron corrosion had destroyed the wooden structure. Parts might be glued. On one side there is a acrylic shield to support the school in this position. Dolphins wished to live as easy in their environment as we do. |

This is the greed octopus. Inside of this labyrinth of 8 separate sections you may see different kind of greed, some you might have yourself, others you will be afraid to hear about or even to see them and to suffer once involved. They cause fear and helplessness. It will be not easy at all to get rid of greed once you followed. But it is not insurmountable, but I have to admit, the way out might be hard and unpleasant. More pictures you will find on my Instagram: gotzpeterreichelt, or on Facebook: Gotz Peter Reichelt Artwork.
There is also more text to explain the whole story |

1st arm: Hansel and Gretel stand looking around curiously. They don’t recognize their surroundings. There’s a fence around the forest because an investment company is planning on creating a golf club and leisure center here. And a nearby industrial area on the outskirts of town is already beginning to take its toll on the forest. The pollution produced by these industrial plants has already damaged the trees’ roots; many will not survive. This gives the investors a good excuse to cut them all down. Greedy poachers set traps for the few remaining forest animals and some die an agonizing death. The foxes worry about their coats of fur, will they soon be made into fashionable coats for humans? A badger hardly dares to leave his den, asking himself whether it might not perhaps be better to be a mole. The trees view everything that approaches their habitat with suspicion, nearly everything could turn out to be a threat. Nearly starving in the forest, Hansel and Gretel see a land of plenty just beyond. It smells of fried foods, sausages and everything they could possibly imagine.

2nd arm: Heavy and overfed, a young person lies surrounded by an abundance of food. He’s a glutton and can’t decide what to gorge on next: the sausage, the ham, the drumsticks or the chocolate? Maybe some wine or beer? He is obese, just like a good 30 percent of the Earth's human population (Die Zeit online,12 June 17). The people who lived hidden away in caves below him consider themselves lucky, as this excess of food allows them to "steal" a little every now and then – not enough to put on weight, but enough to stay alive at least. The food industry pumps more and more food onto the market, gluttony is what they want. Any leftovers end up rotting in containers. Enough to feed how many people?

3rd arm: But this is not the problem of the "Banksters" while they dance around the golden calf. Their greed for money is a cult that drives them to worship the golden calf. They have forgotten that there are also other values; they see, hear and dream only of gold and the $ sign, their devotion is almost religious. They have become victims of the dollar snake, which, in the beginning, approaches them in disguise. People try in vain to free themselves from their dependence on money. They are in prison with no hope of early release. There is no escape and, once infected, nearly all of them die a money-greed death.

4th arm: Once greed for money has made you wealthy — which can in fact happen (in 2017 0.8 % of the world's population owned 44.8 % of global wealth, while 63.9 % of the population owned only 1.9 % of this wealth — statistics for 2019, source Credit Suisse) — the temptation to indulge in a shopping spree increases dramatically (which at least is beneficial to the economy). The greed for things becomes the norm. Inspired by fashion shows, glossy fashion magazines, internet forums, influencers and luxury fashion houses, people buy until they drop. If they can’t buy castles, large yachts or Ferraris, they can keep themselves happy with the latest gadgets, cool gifts, or luxury handbags, which can easily cost 15,000 euros or more. Designer shoes and extravagant creations bought from famous fashion houses are stuffed into showy shopping bags — so that everyone can see where they have been shopping. An at the end of the successful shopping spree there’s time for a selfie before jumping into a comfortable Rolls Royce or Mercedes to whisk them home, the weight of the numerous shopping bags forgotten. Once at home, they immediately try everything on. Some will now start noticing that these clothes make them look a bit old – which brings us to the next arm.

5th arm: Perfectly styled people from the entertainment industry do their part to make us feel that we don’t look good enough. We never see them up close, but their appearance, and the way they seem to radiate eternal youth and freshness make us envious and we want to try to be like them. And yes, there is a remedy: today beauty can be bought. You can freeze away all your wrinkles with Botox . And there are many beauty clinics that use silicone to contour your biceps, breasts and buttocks to the shape currently on trend – anything you like and with little effort. Full lips, oversized breasts, Instagram face, penis enlargement? No problem. We now no longer have to worry about getting older. Greed for beauty and fame has created a huge industry that pretends to relieve us of all these worries. External beauty can be bought, and so hundreds of thousands worship their idols and forget to take care of their own well-being. To keep up to date, you look at what the social media stars look like, thus allowing yourself be manipulated by others.

6th arm: Without noticing it, we are increasingly slipping away from ourselves, succumbing to the world of social media and opening up to complete strangers. The greed in social networks to have as many friends as possible, to indulge in gossip, to forget that there is a real world, makes many become lonely and addicted. You define yourself only through your internet groups; “likes” are your lifeline. Since you rarely experience anything, you have nothing to tell and your friends online already know all the digital gossip there is to know. Reading books, the feel paper in your hands is a thing of the past. But at least you feel alive for a moment if you take a quick picture— but why and for whom in this fast-moving world? Insomnia and fear of being ignored online are the consequences. Our dwindling feeling of personal identity eats away at our real lives, allowing influencers to become all-powerful.

7th arm: With increasing popularity, they suddenly want to try gain power over others, by becoming politicians, for example. More and more magicians, musicians and actors are entering the world of politics. The greed for power has shaped the history of mankind for so long and has ultimately brought only death and ruin. Eloquent politicians can easily spread lies and find enough followers to implement their political agendas, no matter how wrong they are. A charged socio-political climate, history has shown, regardless who is behind the greed for power, creates only losers in the long run. Greed for power manifests itself in many ways: a show of superiority, the claim to be right, the wish to impose one's will. Whether it is Buddhists expelling the Rohingya, Indian Hindus robbing Muslims of their livelihoods, Muslims bombing Christian churches, or crusaders forcibly converting infidels: throughout history, the power of religion may have done more harm than good. Attaining power through a show of strength, physical intimidation or even the use of weapons, leaves traumatized victims and robs countless people of their ancestral homelands. Power through drugs, criminal organizations, politics and world religions can tear apart established social structures and leave irreparable damage behind. Although it was difficult for people to check propaganda for truth before we had the internet, the internet has made it even easier for people today to produce and spread fake news and conspiracy theories and to make others believe just about anything.
