The Weeping Elephant

Now on display at Station Voorburg until the end of March.

‘The Weeping Elephant’ an African elephant, is on a journey since 2016 and appears in cities and natural surroundings to express her ode to the wilderness. The elephant hopes to surprise us and to make us reflect on the influence and beauty of our nature in which we are all connected. She welcomes you on her stage.

Hand in hand we stand on the wild land. Wilderness is the bed of our existence, with all its natural forms; plants, trees, animals, humans, flowers, insects. It reflects authenticity and where you can play freely and discover what life is, without having to label it.

During a walk in the forest, I lay down among the beech trees. This group of trees came to life in a herd of elephants. And so the idea unfolded to create ‘The Weeping Elephant’, a migrating elephant who brings her ode to the wilderness.
