Description

Ivory: This powerful painting highlights one of the most painful and unjust realities of our time: the killing of elephants for the ivory trade. Ivory depicts an elephant with broken tusks, a poignant image that symbolizes the human and environmental cost of hunting for ivory.

The elephant, an emblem of greatness and wisdom, appears scarred and vulnerable, its deteriorating state reflecting the brutality and cruelty these magnificent animals face due to illegal trade. The broken tusks represent loss and sacrifice, while the elephant's dignified attitude contrasts with the violence inflicted.

Ivory is a visual statement and critique of the ivory market, which contributes to the decimation of elephant populations around the world. This painting is a call for awareness and protection of these threatened animals, inviting us to reflect on the need to safeguard their existence and their habitat.
