受与捕鲸(过去)和观察(现在)有关的令人震惊的风景和神秘气氛的影响，我们的头脑在古老的故事中徘徊，如“白鲸”(Moby Dick)、赫尔曼·梅尔维尔(Herman Melville)的“海下20.000联盟”(The Sea)、“儒勒·凡尔纳”(Jules Verne)等，以及亚速尔海岸的抹香鲸的出现，这些都让我们设计了一个“Vernie”巨型鱿鱼，来自海洋深处，作为一个沟通的工具，在波塔德尔加达市的波塔多马，所有年龄的过路人。

Influenced by the stunning landscapes and the mystic aura related to all that concerns whale hunting (in the past) and observation (in the present) our mind wandered through old tales like Moby Dick, by Herman Melville, and 20.000 Leagues Under the Sea, by Jules Verne, and the presence of sperm-whales along the Azores coasts led us to devise a character, "Vernie" the giant squid, that came from the depths of the ocean to serve as a communicative playful tool for passersby of all ages at Portas do Mar in the city of Ponta Delgada.
