The half-formed presence of Jumbo, frozen in time, offers an intimate look at the majesty of the elephant. The sculpture’s unfinished form mirrors the fragility of Africa’s elephant population—strong yet endangered, powerful yet vulnerable.

As the demand for ivory continues to threaten these magnificent creatures, this piece serves as a silent protest against the senseless destruction of the wild. Jumbo’s gaze reminds us that every action we take today shapes the future of these gentle giants and the ecosystems they help sustain.
