New Opportunities mini elephant Artist: Rocchina Rizzo The design for New Opportunities is based on a tattoo style as in Southend we have many amazingly talented tattoo studios and artists. It is a big part of the culture here. Now that Southend has become a city it has created new opportunites and growth for individuals and local businesses. Rocchina wanted to focus on a subject that symbolised new life and growth, therefore focused on butterflies and moths along with blooming flowers.
