Original “Pride”
Pride-
Pride is a celebration of the wisdom, strength, and resilience of the matriarchal elephant and her vital role in guiding her herd to life-sustaining watering holes. These ancient paths, passed down from one matriarch to the next, embody the continuity and survival of these magnificent creatures.
The rainbow of colors seen in the spray of water represents the life-giving beauty of water itself—a source of hope, vitality, and renewal. The vibrant hues also symbolize the strength and unity of the herd, juxtaposed with the elephants’ vulnerability in an ever-changing world.
This piece was created using Polychromos pencils on pastelmat paper, allowing for rich textures and vivid details that bring the subject to life. Through this work, I aim to capture the enduring connection between the elephants and their environment, inviting viewers to reflect on the importance of preserving both.
