Salmon of knowledge - Taiwan parade

This is a float I made as for an Irish parade in Taiwan

The character is based on the Irish tale "the salmon of knowledge " where Fionn caught and cooked this magical salmon that, when eaten would be given him all the knowledge in the world

I made the body out of Bamboo, I cut the body into different sections so that the fish could swivel when I moved it, giving the illusion it was swimming.

Cutting it up also made the fish look more like a meal as I could expose its inner flesh, I then added different algorithms and equations that floated around it to look like thought bubbles
