Inspiration: I was looking to show the power of sound. "Volca" is inspired by the power of sound. The protrusions on the body and the grooves created on it evoke the power of sound. It seems that the sound is so powerful that it makes the shell move and causes grooves on the body. Like the occurrence of a volcano where the high power of the molten material causes the mountain to crack and the molten material to erupt.
