The painting “An Elephant & Two Humans” is an acrylic on papier-mâché painting that aims to condemn the poaching of elephants for their ivory. The center of the painting is a rough textured surface in shades of gray and blue, evoking the image of an elephant’s skin. On either side of the painting are two black shapes with white triangular sections at the bottom, which may represent two human silhouettes. The contrast between the rough texture of nature and the smooth geometric shapes of man highlights the conflict between nature and human intervention. This painting is an important reminder of wildlife protection and the impact of illegal hunting activities on the ecosystem.
