The elephant, one of the most noble and revered of mammals, carries near-mythological status for its wisdom and intelligence. Vast in size yet marked by gentleness, it is fiercely protective of its kin while tender and patient with its young.
Here, the boy gazes upward across a divide, a meeting of innocence and majesty. Just as the boy will one day become a man, so too will the young elephant grow into its full power. The work becomes a meditation on growth, strength, and the shared journey of becoming.
