"Wonderful imagination and style – the most popular 3D image today, not only attaching to the most fashionable and trendy lifestyle, it is also the reflection of human’s fantasy world given by the nature – god’s creation, animals and plants, and the magic we haven’t yet to explore.

Elephant Archive: A Grande Sereia
Em um cenário litorâneo, com belas praias e belezas diversas, reside uma criatura mística de calda escamosa e longos cabelos coloridos, A Grande Sereia. Pensando na atual busca pelo corpo ideal feminino, de medidas diminutas e estratégicas, e com inspiração na recusa a padrões estéticos e na máxima ser feliz do jeito que sou, foi feita a junção da figura do elefante com o imaginário da sereia, rompendo a ideia de que beleza possui relação com tamanho. A personagem Ariel, da Pequena Sereia foi a inspiração inicial, por remeter ao litoral, possuir cores marcantes e pelo trocadilho com pequena.

Elephant Archive: A Penny For Your Thoughts
"The concept for this work is represented by the symbolism of 'One Penny' coins; contrasting a collection of emotive 'thoughts ' donated by members of the public.

Elephant Archive: About An Elephant
"Voor de olifant heb ik gebruik gemaakt van de vormen uit mijn serie 'Not about flowers' uit 2006. Deze vervlochten takken en bloemen doen denken aan de geknoopte kleden en koorden die in India vaak gebruikt worden om een olifant ceremonieel aan te kleden."

A minha proposta é bem simples, ela gira em torno da proteção aos elefantes pelas crianças, nossos futuros adultos, que se manifesta em um grande abraço que elas dão no elefante se posicionando em volta dele. O fundo ficou na cor verde com elementos como flores, borboletas, folhas, pequenos corações, todos coloridos, buscando representar de forma lúdica o amor que as crianças tem a natureza e aos animais.

It's an emergency call to create better living conditions for endangered species and save or help the Asian elephant."

Elephant Archive: All Together Now
"For the elephant parade, I used hands as a representation of each individual human being. The action of the hands coming together and moving towards a constant direction symbolise the collective effort of achieving a single purpose. The hand holding on to the eye, symbolise the notion of keeping watch over the elephants. The huge cloud at the top represents the Chinese saying of “all under heaven”, which means the entire world."

Elephant Archive: Almond Blossom
Almond trees flower early in spring, making the blossoms a symbol of hope and new life. When Vincent van Gogh arrived in Arles in the spring of 1880 the blooming blossom trees astound-ed and inspired him. Blossoms against a blue sky quickly became his favourite subject. He made this famous Almond Blossom painting to celebrate the birth of his nephew, the son of his dear brother Theo who named the child after Vincent. Therefore, this painting has always remained closest to the hearts of the Van Gogh Family.

The original project, as it was done, didn't make your hearts shine. So in record time que redesign the whole project to make our soul overflow. Despite everything, it teached us a lesson to always follow our hearts because it is always right. Our elephant has some highlight elements. The mandala is considered a symbol of cure and spirituality. It helps to focus on the meditation practice. The butterfly means transformation and the flowers brings lightness to our art. We used fluorescent colors to make our elephant shine with its black background.

Elephant Archive: Am's Asian Feast
"My elephant design was inspired by meeting a baby elephant named Am, whose name can mean 'immortal'. He had a voracious appetite for bananas, and the design incorporates this together with many other fruits, flowers, barks and grasses which constitute an Asian elephant's diet.The peacock adorning the elephant is also native to Asia. In many cultures around the globe, peacocks represent immortality and guardianship, an aspiration of this charity for the conservation of the Asian elephant. The Hamsa bird on either side is a decorative element seen in Indian and Southeast Asian culture. It symbolises perfect union, balance and life." ช้างที่ฉันออกแบบมีแรงบันดาลใจมาจากลูกช้างที่ฉันได้พบชื่อ 'อัม' ซึ่งมาจากคำว่า 'อมตะ' อัมเป็นช้างน้อยที่ชอบกินกล้วยมาก ฉันจึงได้ใช้กล้วย ผลไม้ต่างๆ รวมถึงดอกไม้ใบหญ้าซึ่งเป็นอาหารของช้างแถบเอเชียเข้าไปในแบบด้วย เติมลายนกยูง สัตว์ท้องถิ่นของเอเชีย ซึ่งในหลายวัฒนธรรมทั่วโลก เปรียบเป็นตัวแทนของความเป็นอมตะ และผู้พิทักษ์ ซึ่งก็ตรงกับความตั้งใจของงานการกุศลนี้ที่จัดตั้งขึ้นเพื่อการอนุรักษ์ช้างเอเชีย ส่วนตัวหงส์ที่อยู่อีกด้านถือเป็นองค์ประกอบที่พบในวัฒนธรรมแถบเอเชียตะวันออกเฉียงใต้และอินเดีย ซึ่งสื่อถึงภาพรวมที่สมบูรณ์แบบ ความสามัคคี ความสมดุลย์ และชีวิต

A obra é inspirada nas cores do arco-íris. Cada cor possui um significado: o vermelho é uma cor que dá bastante energia, saúde e vitalidade; o marrom é uma cor do mundo natural, lembra a terra onde as plantas crescem; o laranja é uma cor de criatividade e de comunicação, faz quem a usa se sentir mais otimista, confiante e até brincalhão; o amarelo é a cor do Sol, representaa alegria e a luz; o verde representa a natureza e é uma cor que lembra crescimento, equilíbrio e momentos de transformação; o azul é a cor mais usada para fins terapêuticos por ser considerada muito relaxante e causar uma sensação de calma e conforto; a cor violeta realça a individualidade, a sinceridade, personalidade, prosperidade e respeito; e o rosa passa a sensação de sensibilidade, do amor e da delicadeza. A proposta é despertar através das cores sensações e sentimentos.

"The Indian elephant is rooted in art, ritual and tradition and it is revered in this country. Tara, the elephant Mark Shand made his own, symbolized that very versatility.Elephants were prominent in miniature paintings deftly crafted in the famed ateliers of the Mughal and Rajput courts. The skill of that art has been passed down generations and is alive even today. My elephant salutes that very fabled celebration of the Indian elephant through art and painting in a contemporary idiom though still drawing from the fine artisanal skills we still have in India today."

"The greatest inspiration in creating this piece was to show a human perspective on the life of these graceful giants. Elephants' lives, as seen during performances, appear playful and amusing but these staged acts disguise their agony. Bubblegum pink was chosen to represent the overlooked pain and torment the elephants endure. The color communicates fun and joy but at the same time, also the buffoonery and misplaced perception humans have towards the elephants. From that aspect, it is the elephants’ agony to leave their natural dwelling- their home, along with their natural way of life for the sake of human amusement."หนึ่งในแรงบันดาลใจหลักของการสรรสร้างผลงานชิ้นนี้ถูกหยิบยกมาจากมุมมองของมนุษย์ที่มีต่อสัตว์อย่าง ‘ช้าง’ ที่หลายต่อหลายคนมักมองเห็นเป็นเรื่องที่สนุกที่เกิดขึ้นเพื่อความบันเทิงที่ได้เห็นพฤติกรรมของช้างไม่ว่าจะเป็นการแสดง หรือการกระทำอื่นๆ ก็ตาม แต่ในความสนุกนั้นแฝงไปด้วยความทรมาน และความเจ็บปวดของช้างที่หลายต่อหลายครั้งเราลืมย้อนกลับไปมองและคำนึงถึง สีที่ถูกเลือกใช้เป็นสีชมพูบับเบิ้ลกัม (Bubblegum Pink) ที่เป็นเสมือนเฉดสีอันเป็นตัวแทนของความสนุก และความเป็นการ์ตูนที่มนุษย์เห็นเมื่อมองช้าง แต่ในมุมสะท้อนนั้นเองมันคือความทุกข์ของช้างที่ต้องละทิ้งผืนป่าอันเป็นรากฐาน ตลอดไปจนวิถีชีวิตของมันเพียงเพื่อมาสนองความบันเทิงทางอารมณ์ของมนุษย์

The use of thousands of hand palm is to enchance the aim of the art. On the other hand, Pocotee will use her expertise in illustration to draw many cute baby elephants alongside her characters Pocotee & Friends. Baby elephants in the artwork will be smiling to show that they are happy after being pampered by us. The reason why Pocotee chose the baby elephants is a message to the future , our next generation, and the innocent. The motto “Love me more” will be added to the artwork."

Elephant Archive: Be Like Bamboo
Bamboo is known for its strength, and it can be seen all over Hong Kong supporting the construction of new buildings. But in its natural state, it is flexible, and will bend with the wind. The elephant “Be like bamboo” reflects this duality, and has been created by artist Gilly Beal to communicate Hong Kong’s ability to thrive. Using natural materials such as palm fronds and seeds as brushes, and Chinese ink as her medium, Gilly has created a bamboo grove across the body of the elephant. A red bauhinia, Hong Kong’s national flower, adorns the elephant’s head.

O boi-de-mamão é uma expressiva manifestação folclórica que ocorre no estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil, sendo encenado principalmente na região litorânea. Com origem nas brincadeiras com o boi feitas nos Açores, tem seu primeiro registro com este nome em Santa Catarina datado de 1840. Inicialmente era chamado boi-de-pano.

Created and decorated by artists and celebrities alike, each Elephant Parade statue is a unique and individual piece of art. Celebrating harmony and love between different living creatures, Jordy’s charity art piece for Elephant Parade was inspired by the beautiful and complex natural ecosystem of Thailand. Focusing on the special relationships between animals, this stunning sculpture highlights the beautiful bonds and environments that they share. Featuring lots of delicate dancing butterflies flying around a seated baby elephant, this sculpture honours the natural world.

As borboletas desempenham um importante papel nos ecossistemas atuando como polinizadoras, fonte de alimento e indicadoras do bem-estar do ecossistema. Uma abundância de borboletas indica um ecossistema saudável, pois elas são muitosensíveis às mudanças climáticas, como a poluição ou perda do habitat. A Borboleta-da-Praia (Parides ascanius), que colore as asas do elefante, é uma espécie brasileira que corre risco de extinção devido ao desmatamento e poluição de onde habita, a mata atlântica, e devido a especulação imobiliária que diminui cada vez mais as áreas verdes, prejudicando tanto esta espécie como tantos outros insetos, flora e animais.

Elephant Archive: Eco the Elephant
Young artists at Haverstock School in Camden created and presented competing designs for this elephant to Olswang, the leading business law firm, which was given the opportunity of sponsoring an elephant through its community investment work with the Elephant Family. The winning team's design was inspired by the ethos of both Olswang and the Elephant Family and the relationship between natural habitats and urban spaces. The design represents the ecological balance the student artists would like to achieve in the world, recognizing the need to celebrate and protect both our natural surroundings and our city environments. As such the design also reflects what Olswang strives to achive through its corporate responsibility activities.

Entre outras, uma razão para o elefante asiático (Elephas maximus) estar ameaçado de extinção é a exploração do seu habitat natural para fins agricultáveis. Essa prática humana leva não só à diminuição dos terrenos naturais dos elefantes como também resulta em lastimáveis matanças dos animais que são considerados invasores das plantações. Nesse contexto, Lu Mori escolheu misturar uma típica planta asiática de consumo humano, a uva (Vitis vinifera), permeando um esqueleto de um filhote de elefante numa intenção artística de cativar pela estética e pelo conhecimento. Nessa composição, idealizada e subjetiva, a artista aplicou metodologia de pesquisa rigorosa, tipicamente científica.

Elephant Archive: Fire Elephant
"So much of our forest – the homes of our elephants – has been encroached upon by humans, forcing the animals to find food closer and closer to us. This causes conflicts between the humans and the elephants, like we have been seeing in the news. Fire Elephant reflects this very problem, portraying an elephant on fire that is being suffocated by smoke, as well as how we humans make a living. The objective of the piece is to urge people to realise that we – humans and elephants – share resources and can live together happily and sustainably."แนวคิด ปัจจุบันป่าไม้ซึ่งเป็น ที่อยู่อาศัยของช้างถูกรุ กลำ้ป่าโดยมนุษย์ ป่าที่ เป็นแหล่งอาหารของช้าง ช้างต้องออกหาอาหารใกล้ มนุษย์มากขึ้น จนเกิด ปัญหาระหว่างช้างกับ มนุษย์อย่างที่เป็นคลิป ข่าวที่ผ่านมา Fire Elephant คืองานที่สะท้อน ปัญหาที่เกิดขึ้น ภาพตัว ช้างถูกเปลวเพลิงเผาไหม้ และคละเคล้าด้วยละอองควัน ของเรื่องราววิถีการใช้ ชีวิตการทำมาหากินของ มนุษย์ แนวคิดงานเพื่อให้เรา ตระหนักถึงการใช้ทรัพยากร ร่วมกันระหว่างคนและสัตว์ การอยู่กันด้วยความสุขและ ยั่งยืน

Floriphant is one of three works made by the São Paulo artist for Elephant Parade Floripa. The work represents an ancient city in black, white and lights. Historical elements of the city of Florianópolis were incorporated into the work, such as Cruz e Souza Palace, Hercílio Luz Bridge, the Metropolitan Cathedral of Florianópolis and the Fortress of São José da Ponta Grossa. Wisely using the volume of the sculpture for the creation of perspectives, the artist invites us to enter the work and admire the precision of each brushstroke in carts, cars, houses and passersby who build everyday beautiful scenes.

I found some photos of the skeleton of a young bird and used this image alongside the design of the Batik flowers to show two contrasting and yet beautiful designs. The use of the fluorescent paint gives the elephant another dimension-by night, its appearance will again be transformed into a more geometric construction, echoing the form of the sculpture itself, in contrast to the more organic treatment by day."

"In the modern world, to survive is not enough. In order to secure one’s position at present and in the future, traditional, passive and standard tactics are no longer considered effective, or even safe. In this respect,both the Asian elephant and various companies face the same problem: the threat of extinction. Its for this reason that for the Paint a Brighter Future campaign, I chose to decorate my elephant in warpaint-‐inspired paHerns using the GolinHarris G4-‐model colors. It is a representation of how, in the midst of rapidly changing 0mes, it takes a warrior to stay in the game. One must fight to stay modern and relevant. For our clients, an effective tool in this fight is the recently developed G4-‐model. Through the combined efforts of expert Strategists, Creators, Connectors and Catalysts, GolinHarris is able to give its clients comprehensive, compelling and tailor-‐fit strategies that allow them to face challenges head on and come out on top. As for the Asian elephant, the Elephant Parade is used as a similar tool. While the challenges of keeping up with the modern day are indeed complex, I think that there is deep value in the way that it pushes people to think outside the box. Modern-‐day challenges bring about modern-‐ day thinking and with creativity as currency, progress is a promise of tomorrow.

Elephant Archive: Gudi-Gudi
O Gudi, Gudi foi pensado a partir do AMOR. O primeiro núcleo que é o familiar. Ali tudo inicia. É a base, o respeito pelo mais velho, o exemplo como reflexo para o mais jovem. O coração que passa da mão da mãe para o filhinho e deste para o pai, ou, vice-versa...e para o vovô, ou vice-versa, tem visceralmente essa emoção. O sol da juventude e a lua do envelhecer e o coração que passa de mão em mão apesar dos tempos, apesar dos ciclos, tem aí a função de demarcar que, apesar de tudo e de todos, um gesto simples e puro como é o da criança representada pegando o amor e o repassando para o próximo pode mudar o mundo, pois é no reflexo do outro, no exemplo, na educação que está a base do nosso BEM VIVER. A carinha do elefantinho é a de um palhacinho, os momentos lúdicos necessário à todo ser vivente. As lágrimas são pelas mortes injustas e desnecessárias, abreviamentos de vidas, da flora ,da fauna, do planeta. O homem constrói e o homem destrói, a ação representada pelas faixinhas amarelas, sinônimo de asfalto, de desmatamentos colocando em risco a saúde do planeta. Mas o elefantinho sorri porque ele é AMOR, independente do que façamos ele é semente. Assim como toda criança merece o respeito para que também possa respeitar, levar para o próximo a sementinha do AMOR.

"We are inspired by the things around us: people, animals, food, culture and objects. The differences in the way we live and think make us curious and drive us to dig deeper to understand the things surround us and the things live with us. The process usually leads us to interesting finds, which then become part of our creations. Being happy is simple, just look at what is around you and enjoy what you have. Like a kid exploring the world, be enthusiastic about anything and everything, without worrying about getting dirty and just enjoy the moment. Banana is one of HAPPY’s favourite food. Real Bananas are used to spread the patterns over HAPPY, and HAPPY spreads happiness to everyone."

Elephant Archive: Haru
A ideia inicial era fazer um projeto temático, que trouxesse um pouco da cultura japonesa para a obra. Daí até o projeto final, a imaginação passeou entre samurais e outras figuras tradicionais até chegar na Gueisha, que acabou ganhando pela delicadeza e riqueza de detalhes. Para a composição, pesquisei sobre a história das gueishas, seus costumes, vestimentas, maquiagem e todo o contexto e simbolismo. A partir daí, foi uma combinação de elementos, usando como base as cores tradicionais do Japão e complementando com a estampa de sakura (flor de cerejeira) que é a flor símbolo do país. Os cabelos presos em coque por hashi, a sandália (zori) usadas com meias brancas, o obi (faixa na cintura) com volume e adereços, deixaram a obra ainda mais característica. Alguns detalhes mostram que a Haru é uma jovem sendo iniciada na tradição das gueishas, que são chamadas Maiko (a cor vibrante do kimono e o cabelo naturalmente preso, as gueishas mais experientes vão suavizando suas cores com o tempo e os cabelos ganham um penteado típico, mais elaborado e austero). Através da fanpage do patrocinador, no Facebook, os seguidores puderam sugerir nomes para a nossa elefantinho, e o escolhido, Haru, significa primavera e foi perfeito para ela!"

Elephant Archive: Hear The Unheard
"What if the elephant would make a sound?” That was the first thing that came into my mind when I started working on the elephant. As a musician, I have chosen to add a musical touch to the elephant to make it “sing” by wrapping the elephant’s body with an elegant chime instrument made of copper. Copper tubes, a tiny piece of raw material which are normally used in air conditioning and refrigerating systems. By turning the elephant into a concrete-like metallic texture, it implies that nature is being over-ruled by the industrialisation and civilisation of human beings. Asian Elephants nowadays live in shadows, are mistreated and unheard of their need’s. We take pleasure in our daily lives at the cost of another living species unconsciously. The copper tubes around the elephant’s body symbolise a cry for help from this endangered species.:

"For my design for the Elephant Parade I was inspired by Ganesha. Ganesha is a Hindu supernatural being with the head of an elephant. He is the god of knowledge and wisdom and the patron saint of travelers and people who start something new. A small rat is the vehicle of the great Ganesha. Ganesha was beheaded. And was a lifeless body. By placing the head of an elephant on Ganesha’s torso he started a new life. I think this is a nice visual symbol for the fact that you can’t live without head, no matter what kind of head. I have interwoven my portrait with images of Ganesha, from head to toe including the rat. A self-portrait. The title Holi is a reference to the colourful Holi festival."

Mandalas são representações geométricas da dinâmica relação entre o homem e o cosmo. A forma circular e o ponto central são uma regra. A repetição ou simetria das formas que constituem o desenho também são uma constante. As mandalas são normalmente classificadas pela base numerológica que contêm e são relacionadas a processos interiores, de cura, ou ligado ao sagrado que também se relaciona com a natureza. a Hope tem em sua coroa a impressão digital de 200 pessoas que, assim como a Mosha, tem algum tipo de deficiência/limitação e mesmo assim vivem livres, felizes, positivos e otimistas.

"The inspiration or concept is a simple one about human elephant conflict: when we look at her we see the landscape, the paddy fields, the distant hills, the sun, the moon and the birds but we cannot see the elephant, she has vanished. This can be interpreted in a number of ways including: the land (elephant land) has been encroached so far by human agriculture needs that there are no elephants left. and/ or it could be seen as the wild elephant sneaking into the farmers land to steal the bananas (which she is eating) but as so often they are not seen (despite their size) as they are surprisingly quiet and stealthy until it is too late and the damage is done. The concept is partly inspired by Haruki Murakami's The Elephant Vanishes. But mainly from talks with Dr Josh about the issues of HEC that I worked on for Think Elephants International educational animations. Despite the serious idea I wanted her to be appealing, so the colours are highly saturated, with lots of greens, which through my time teaching visual art and media here in Thailand, gets very positive responses from Thai People, with associations of rice paddys and cool freshness. A feeling I associated with especially when driving through the paddy fields on my way to work. Often there are flocks of the big grey cranes and so they are present in the image. The clouds are reminiscent of the style of the Buddha stories painted in Ayutthaya's many Wats, but with added texture. And the toe nails are painted gold with gold leaf from the square temple gold prayer offerings. This was a conscious decision again to appeal to the Thai audiences' association with the rituals. I also use the gold leaf in my own paintings of elephants.""แรงบันดาลใจหรือแนวคิดในการออกแบบครั้งนี้คือเรื่องความขัดแย้งระหว่างช้างกับมนุษย์ เมื่อเรามองไปที่ข้าวสวย เราจะเห็นภูมิทัศน์ทุ่งนา เนินเขากว้างไกล ดวงอาทิตย์ ดวงจันทร์และนกโผบิน แต่เรากลับไม่สามารถมองเห็นช้าง เพราะเธอได้หายไปแล้ว ภาพนี้สามารถตีความได้หลายอย่าง ได้แก่ ผืนดิน (ผืนดินของช้าง) ถูกรุกล้ำจากมนุษย์เพื่อนำไปทำการเกษตร ช้างจึงต้องหนีไป และ/หรืออาจจะมองได้ว่าช้างป่าแอบเข้าไปในไร่นาเพื่อขโมยกล้วย (ซึ่งเธอกำลังกินอยู่) แต่บ่อยครั้งไม่มีใครเห็นพวกมัน (แม้พวกมันจะมีขนาดใหญ่) แต่เพราะพวกมันสามารถย่องเข้ามาได้อย่างเงียบเชียบจนน่าแปลกใจ ซึ่งกว่าจะรู้ตัวก็ได้สร้างความเสียหายไปเรียบร้อยแล้ว แนวคิดนี้ได้แรงบันดาลใจบางส่วนมาจากหนังสื่อชื่อ “ช้างหาย” ของฮารูกิ มูราคามิ แต่ส่วนใหญ่มาจากการพูดคุยเรื่องปัญหาด้านความขัดแย้งของช้างและมนุษย์ กับดร.จอช แห่งมูลนิธิ Think Elephants International ซึ่งฉันทำงานด้วยในการสร้างอะนิเมชั่นเพื่อการศึกษานานาชาติ แม้แรงบันดาลใจนี้จะเป็นเรื่องที่หนัก แต่ฉันก็ยังอยากให้ช้างตัวนี้ดูน่าสนใจ จึงเลือกใช้สีเขียว ผ่านภาพนาข้าวและความเย็นสบาย สะท้อนช่วงเวลาที่ฉันได้สอนทัศนศิลป์และการผลิตสื่อในประเทศไทย ซึ่งค่อนข้างได้รับการตอบสนองในเชิงบวกจากคนไทยเป็นอย่างมาก โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งความรู้สึกเมื่อฉันได้ขับรถผ่านทุ่งนาระหว่างทางไปทำงาน บ่อยครั้งจะเห็นฝูงนกกระเรียนสีเทาขนาดใหญ่ พวกมันจึงปรากฎอยู่ในภาพนี้ด้วย ก้อนเมฆชวนให้นึกถึงแบบของพระพุทธรูปที่ปรากฏตามผนังของวัดในอยุธยาโดยเพิ่มองค์ประกอบอื่นๆ เข้าไป ส่วนเล็บเท้าทาสีทองจากแผ่นทองคำเปลวที่ใช้ปิดเวลาไปทำบุญตามวัด นี่คือสิ่งที่ฉันทำเพื่อดึงดูดความสนใจของผู้ชมคนไทยที่มีความเกี่ยวพันธ์กับพิธีกรรมทางศาสนา ฉันยังใช้ทองคำเปลวในภาพวาดช้างของฉันด้วย แรงบันดาลใจหรือแนวคิดในการออกแบบครั้งนี้คือเรื่องความขัดแย้งระหว่างช้างกับมนุษย์ เมื่อเรามองไปที่ข้าวสวย เราจะเห็นภูมิทัศน์ทุ่งนา เนินเขากว้างไกล ดวงอาทิตย์ ดวงจันทร์และนกโผบิน แต่เรากลับไม่สามารถมองเห็นช้าง เพราะเธอได้หายไปแล้ว ภาพนี้สามารถตีความได้หลายอย่าง ได้แก่ ผืนดิน (ผืนดินของช้าง) ถูกรุกล้ำจากมนุษย์เพื่อนำไปทำการเกษตร ช้างจึงต้องหนีไป และ/หรืออาจจะมองได้ว่าช้างป่าแอบเข้าไปในไร่นาเพื่อขโมยกล้วย (ซึ่งเธอ"

"My design represents the paradox between desire and greed - more specifically, our desire to possess everything and anything, no matter how destructive. Inside the belly of the elephant, evil forces hunt these pure, majestic creatures amidst a tiny magical world. The frantic boat race through volatile waters is a desperate attempt to save the elephant and return it to the safety of home. The image of the princess is a symbol of the truly dark side of geed - an emblem of excess, consumerisim, entitlement and an attempt to attain perfection. In addition, the princess and the various images of idealized female beauty mirror Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. Through a series of life-threatening adventures, Odysseus yearns to return home to his wife Penelope. her image and memory haunt the moonlit waves and line the walls of the caves. I have entitled the piece Odysseus to explore this conflict and suggest a similar end in which the hero returns home to safety and reclaims his kingdom.

Muitos dos grandes problemas das pessoas, e entre as pessoas são causados por confusões, pela falta de conhecimento de nós mesmos. Estas confusões podem ser causa dos mas variados distúrbios desde o sofrimento pessoal até as guerras. O conto tem muitos níveis e pode ser aplicado nas diversas dimensões da cognição e consciência humana. "O Elefante na Escuridão: Os sábios de todas as épocas nos ensinam que a mente humana tende a generalizar a partir de evidências parciais, e que a percepção humana pode ir muito mais além do óbvio e destas parcialidades, transcendendo todas as aparentes diferenças e encontrando a unidade. Poderá você conceber-se experimentando a existência de uma forma mais completa? O conto que segue é uma das formas em que os sábios tentam ajudar a nos libertar dos limites da percepção e assim chegar na consciência da realidade. Em uma cidade onde jamais um elefante tinha sido visto, quatro pessoas curiosas foram vê-lo. Quando chegaram ao estábulo encontraram o elefante na escuridão. Portanto, a investigação tinha que ser realizada em pleno escuro, apalpando. O primeiro tocando-lhe a orelha, imaginou que era uma gigante borboleta. Com medo do que pensou, saiu correndo não conseguindo desvendar nada mais. O segundo apalpou a tromba e concluiu que a criatura parecia uma terrível serpente, também assustado, saiu correndo. Quando o terceiro colocou a mão nas costas do elefante, ficou convencido de que se tratava de uma espécie de trono, imaginando que isto significava que outro rei queria tomar a cidade, saiu correndo assustando a todo o povoado. O último, tocou uma das patas, concebeu com a sua imaginação limitada apenas uma grande árvore. Pensando já conhecer o que se tratava, dispensou a possibilidade de continuar a exploração e abandonou o lugar. Nenhum deles formou a imagem completa do grandioso animal. A parte do elefante que cada um apalpou e sentiu foi associada automaticamente à memórias que eles já conheciam. Alguns pelo medo do que a fantasia distorcida gerou e outros por acreditar que tudo conheciam, não foram adiante com a investigação. O resultado da expedição, era pura confusão. Cada um tinha certeza de que só ele estava certo; nenhum dos outros moradores do vilarejo conseguia entender o que tinha acontecido ou o que os investigadores tinham realmente experimentado. Mas, o grande sábio da cidade, que conhecia um elefante, ria sem parar de toda a confusão que se tinha armado. Como todos lhe tinham um grande respeito, aceitaram sua proposta de rever aquilo que com certeza imaginavam conhecer. E o fizeram apesar de seus medos... Chegando no estábulo o sábio simplesmente acendeu a luz, foi então que todos viram a totalidade do que realmente se tratava: um elefante. E também eles riram sem parar da confusão que os tinha antes dominado."

"My elephant design is inspired by the news ten years ago. Thailand adopted the panda and the mahouts feel slighted. The media paid more attention to the Panda and forgot everyone’s favorite animal; the elephant. Some mahouts painted white on elephant skin and black on elephant eyes, to make their elephant look like a panda. This piece of art shows that the Thai elephant has been out of focus for a while. "แรงบันดาลใจจากข่าวความน้อยใจของคนเลี้ยงช้างเมื่อเกือบสิบปีก่อน ตอนที่เมืองไทยรับแพนด้ามาเลี้ยงใหม่ๆ สื่อและคนไทยทั่วประเทศพากันตื่นเต้นกับหลินปิงจนลืมช้างแสนรู้ที่เคยเป็นสัตว์โปรดของทุกคน คนเลี้ยงช้างส่วนหนึ่งเสียดสีสังคมอย่างมีอารมณ์ขันโดยการนำช้างมาทาสีขาว ทาตาดำ กลายเป็นแพนด้ามีงวง งานชิ้นนี้จึงเป็นเหมือนบันทึกเหตุการณ์สนุกๆ ของช่วงหนึ่งที่ช้างไทยเรตติ้งตก

"Before I started to paint the elephant, I thought about the story of the elephants, how they live their lives in the forest and live with humans. We might not be aware of the wild elephant because they live in the forest; but for those who live with humans, we always see their stories in the news or documentaries. Every time I think about an elephant in the zoo or one that works for living, it makes me feel sad. So for the Bangkok Parade, I came up with drawing an elephant's anatomy on the fiberglass elephant statue to send the message that we do care them."

"I have a passion for handmade leather. It requires a lot of practice, which means that I have accumulated a lot of leftover pieces of leather over the years from making leather handbags and other things. I was inspired to use these leather pieces by stitching them together and weaving them. It’s a meticulous and time consuming process, but the result is a valuable piece of work created out of seemingly useless leftover leather that retains its natural beauty. This is no different from an elephant that in the course of its life may go through hardship and pain, but in the end “life is still a beautiful thing.”"จากความหลงใหลในงานเครื่องหนังที่ทำด้วยมือ ทำให้ต้องฝึกฝนอย่างหนัก และลงมือทำมาเป็นระยะเวลาหนึ่งก็จะมีเศษหนังต่างๆ ที่เหลืออย่างมากมายจากการทำกระเป๋ารูปทรงต่างๆ จึงทำให้เกิดแรงบันดาลใจที่อยากจะนำเศษหนังเหล่านี้มาสร้างสรรค์โดยการใช้เทคนิคการสานด้วยมืออย่างพิถีพิถันตั้งแต่การต่อเศษหนังแต่ละชิ้นเข้าด้วยกันจนกระทั่งนำมาสานอย่างตั้งใจ อดทน เพื่อให้เศษหนังเหล่านี้เกิดคุณค่าอย่างมากที่สุดและยังคงความสวยงามตามปรากฎการณ์อย่างธรรมชาติ เปรียบเสมือนช้างตัวหนึ่งที่อดทนต่อสู้พบอุปสรรคบาดเจ็บมากแค่ไหน แต่สุดท้าย “ชีวิตยังคงมีความสวยงามเสมอ”

So all that I see and enchants me I take on, convert it into a pictorial motif (hence Anthropophagy in my life).

Um dos destaques do elefante Relicário é o seu grande coração, mostrando que tudo o que faz parte do dia-a-dia pulsa em nós.Para o trabalho, tenho como inspiração os artistas brasileiros Vik Muniz e Arthur Bispo do Rosário, além de referências da arte indiana.

As rendeiras descendem das antigas famílias açorianas que vieram em 1748 para a Vila do Desterro, na Ilha de Santa Catarina.A renda é confeccionada num molde de papelão, num esboço formado por alfinetes e fixados sobre uma almofada, apoiada num caixote de madeira. O desenho da renda é formado pela trama de fios de algodão, presas em bilros de madeira, num jogo rápido, realizado por mãos hábeis de senhoras. A proposta consiste em caracterizar o elefante, como uma almofada florida da típica rendeira da Ilha de Santa Catarina e também a arquitetura luso-brasileira. A ideia central é mostrar e valorizar esse importante trabalho artesanal; que é um produto delicado, demorado e meticuloso, mas que precisa ser mais valorizado, pois encontra-se em declínio e tende a desaparecer. Esse saber-fazer tradicional era iniciado ainda na infância, em famílias simples que trabalhavam na lavoura do café ou da mandioca e na pesca artesanal. A intenção maior é chamar atenção para a preservação da nossa identidade cultural, além da ajuda filantrópica que o evento merece.

"Inspired by all the destruction of the earth, the animals are fighting to stay alive, emerging from oil spoiled waters and diminishing rainforests, they seek revenge on humans. The art work depicts the noise of modern culture and the constant barrage of images we are exposed to everyday at a maniacal pace. How will the animals survive our crazy world?"

Elephant Archive: Rocky
"Statement: The majestic appearance of elephants coupled with their gentle nature generally invites people to be close to them. Unfortunately, this has led to their abuse and threatened their species as animals are not things to be ‘toyed with’. ‘Rocky’ Medium: Resin, Wool, foam and plywood The installation of ‘Rocky’ is my interpretation of that concept using a very literal approach: The first of the 3-toy series, Rocky is a soft toy rocking animal that comes to life as it is ridden. ‘Little Franky’ Medium: Resin, Wool, foam Franky is a tiny elephant on wheels that needs to be walked by his caretaker. He was created to be Rocky’s little companion and will be donated to the buyer of ‘Rocky’ if the buying price exceeds the amount of HKD. ‘Cuddles’ Medium: Wool, PP synthetic cotton To complete the toy series, Cuddles is Rocky’s sister, a 1:1 scale plush toy elephant that can and should be loved and hugged."

Acredito que a inspiração e a ideia surgiram juntas. A imagem do elefante me transportou para o meu universo infantil, interiorano e muito liberto. Assim, cheguei no objeto bicicleta, um objeto universal e com forte expressão, muito marcante nessa fase da minha infância. Representa brincadeira, liberdade, socialização, deslocamento, saúde, elementos de grande importância para a minha formação. Pensando na parte estética e visual da bicicleta, decidi trabalhar com a imagem da roda. A forma circular é repleta de simbolismos, podemos até relacioná-la com a imagem do planeta, que nos remete a um movimento cíclico, de retorno. Aquilo que não é estático, movimento e transformação estão presentes em nossas vidas.

Elephants have been around for centuries and are highly revered as sacred animals. Therefore, I think using pomegranates as an element in the statue is fitting."แรงบันดาลใจของการทำช้าง Ruby เกิดจากความงามที่เป็นเอกลักษณ์ของผลไม้ โดยที่เมล็ดในมีสีและลักษณะคล้ายอัญมณีที่ชื่อว่า ทับทิม ผลทับทิมให้ประโยชน์สูงมากอีกทั้งในความเชื่อของชาวไทยที่ว่าทับทิมเป็นพืชแห่งมงคล คุณสมบัติตามที่กล่าวมาในขั้นต้นทำให้ผมแลเห็นเช่นกันว่า ช้าง เป็นของคู่บ้านเมืองไทยมาแต่ช้านานเป็นทั้ง เป็นเครื่องประดับแผ่นดิน เป็นคุณประโยชน์แก่แผ่นดิน และเป็นสัตว์มงคล ดังนั้นผมจึงเห็นควรกับการนำทับทิมมาเป็นองค์ประกอบของการสร้างงานชิ้นนี้ครับ

The sculpture features irregular empty spaces which signify the fragmented landscapes in which India’s endangered elephants exist. The cage-like metal work is a metaphor for the elephant, trapped by the urbanization of its environment and the wildlife corridors on which their future depends. Savitri, the daughter of Savitr, a Hindu sun god, means "ray of light" in Sanskrit -- suggesting hope for the Indian elephants and also reflective of the fingers of light that permeate through the jaali."

"Sharks are a vital link in biodiversity and as a species, they're older than dinosaurs. Yet, their survival is now endangered. This is because of the consumption and consequent demand of shark fin soup and foods which have decimated global shark populations at an alarming rate. Many are only fished for their fins and thrown back into the sea to die slow painful deaths while their perfectly edible meat is wasted in order to supply the insatiable demand for this purely ostentatious dish. Our oceans need sharks to stay healthy and we cannot live without healthy oceans which regulate our atmosphere, provide oxygen, and water. Elephants are also in serious trouble now, with the species facing possible extinction in 10 years if the surging trade in ivory isn't curbed significantly. As the legal sale of ivory offers numerous avenues for the illegal ivory trade, it seems that the only thing that can save the Elephant now would be a complete sales ban. My Sharkaphant represents the two major species that I've been campaigning to save. The largest fish of the seas and the largest land animal. He is a symbol of hope for a sustainable future. We must put an end to shark fin consumption and ivory trading now."ฉลามคือตัวเชื่อมโยงสำคัญของความหลากหลายทางชีวภาพ และพวกมันก็เป็นสัตว์ดึกดำบรรพ์ที่อยู่มานานกว่าไดโนเสาร์ แม้ว่า ฉลามจะอยู่รอดมาได้แต่ในตอนนี้ใกล้สูญพันธุ์เต็มที สาเหตุเกิดจากการบริโภคและความต้องการอันสืบเนื่องมาจากซุปหูฉลาม และอาหาร ซึ่งทำให้จำนวนประชากรฉลามในโลกอยู่ในอัตราที่น่าตกใจ ผู้ล่าจำนวนมากตกปลาฉลามเพียงเพื่อเอาครีบแล้วโยนมันกลับลงไปในทะเลก่อนพวกมันค่อยๆ ตายอย่างทรมาน ส่วนเนื้อซึ่งสามารถนำมาบริโภคได้ก็ถูกทิ้งไปอย่างเปล่าประโยชน์ เพียงเพื่อให้ได้เมนูอาหารที่มีไว้เสิร์ฟเพื่อโอ้อวดฐานะ มหาสมุทรของเราต้องการฉลามเพื่อประโยชน์ทางชีวภาพให้เกิดการหมุนเวียนของออกซิเจนและน้ำ ช้างเองก็อยู่ในสถานะลำบากเช่นเดียวกัน ซึ่งมีความเป็นไปได้ว่าช้างจะสูญพันธุ์อีกใน 10 ปีข้างหน้า หากยังไม่มีการระงับการค้างาช้างอย่างจริงจัง การขายงาช้างอย่างถูกกฎหมายเปิดช่องทางมากมายสำหรับผู้ค้างาช้างผิดกฎหมาย จึงดูเหมือนว่าสิ่งเดียวที่จะช่วยช้างได้ก็คือการยกเลิกการขายสินค้าจากงาช้างทั้งหมด Sharkaphant ของฉันจึงเป็นตัวแทนของสัตว์ทั้งสองสายพันธุ์ที่ฉันได้ทำแคมเปญส่งเสริมอนุรักษ์ สัตว์ที่ใหญ่ที่สุดในท้องทะเล และสัตว์ที่ใหญ่ที่สุดป่า Sharkaphant จึงเป็นสัญลักษณ์แห่งความหวังของอนาคตอันยั่งยืน เราจะต้องหยุดการบริโภคหูฉลามและการค้างาช้างตั้งแต่ตอนนี้

"We present this elephant in its full strength and glory as a metaphor, embodying the might of “New Asia”, representing the global shift from West to East with the emergence of the powerful forces of China and India. The elephant has been symbolically split into two halves, each side representing China and India respectively; Mao and Gandhi, being the two major icons of each of these nations, are seen to be initiating a narrative of what challenges New Asia faces as it marches ahead ruling the 21st century. This elephant embodies an enthusiasm for our New Asia and our modern world and I hope it shall be a very colourful and somewhat thought provoking part of the first ever Asian installation of The Elephant Parade in Singapore."

Elephants remind us of luck and fortune, two things that we’re in need. At the same time, I imagine colorful images of India, henna tattoos and the statue’s sitting position with the peaceful expression related to my yoga classes that nowadays are very popular in the Ipanema and Leblon border. The yoga practice makes me feel joy, connected to myself and the city itself with the nature feeling of being carioca. That’s when the inspiration came to me with the elephant in lotus position greeting Rio’s magnificent view. The henna tattoos have arabesques that correlate again with India but this time with carioca elements such as Dois Irmãos hill, the sea, the coconut-trees, kioks, etc. I name it “Suhki” because it means “calm” in Hindu so it can disseminate serenity, happiness and good luck to all the visitors.

Este dourado sobe pelo elefante indo ao encontro da árvores traçada de forma sutil no corpo do elefante. Nas patas, também foram representadas africanas colhendo as frutas. E no rosto do elefante, trabalhamos com desenhos de tribos africanas em um tribal dourado. Para finalizar e reforçar a história da Mosha e da Elephant Parade, os corações foram pintados de vermelho".

The whole idea is to create an atmosphere which may be of certain incident or place we know or we dream about. The jungle here shown looks like an artificial plastic jungle which we are creating in our contemporary society as well as deadly weapons which look like flower. The image as a whole creates an atmosphere where we can see how humanity is growing apart from nature and creating an artificial environment that has remarkably replaced the original, nature itself .We do not live with nature any longer; we live above it, off of it as it is were. Nature has become the resource to keep this artificial or new nature alive, and this created new nature is not for us as well as not for our animal species."The Garden of Earthly Delights เป็นภาพวาดขนาดใหญ่ที่แบ่งออกเป็นส่วนๆ (อ้างอิงจากประวัติศาสตร์ศิลป์และผลงานของศิลปิน Shefard Fairey และ Henry Rousseau) ซึ่งช่วยกระตุ้นความทรงจำ หรือเรื่องที่พบเจอในสังคมร่วมสมัยของเรา ไอเดียทั้งหมดคือการสร้างบรรยากาศ โดยอาจจะเป็นเหตุการณ์หรือสถานที่ที่เรารู้จักหรือฝันถึง ป่าที่แสดงอยู่เป็นเหมือนป่าพลาสติกที่เรากำลังสร้างขึ้นในสังคมยุคปัจจุบัน เช่นเดียวกับอาวุธร้ายที่แอบซ่อนมาในรูปดอกไม้ ภาพโดยรวมได้สร้างบรรยากาศที่ทำให้เราเห็นว่ามนุษย์ได้เติบโตไปคนละทางกับธรรมชาติ และสร้างสภาพแวดล้อมปลอมๆ เข้ามาแทนที่ธรรมชาติอันแท้จริง เราไม่ได้อยู่กับธรรมชาติอีกต่อไปแล้ว เราอาศัยอยู่นอกเหนือจากที่เราเคยอยู่ ธรรมชาติได้กลายเป็นทรัพยากรเพื่อรักษาธรรมชาติเทียมนี้ หรือชุบชีวิตใหม่แก่ธรรมชาติ และนี่คือการสร้างธรรมชาติขึ้นใหม่ ซึ่งเป็นธรรมชาติที่ไม่ใช่เหมาะทั้งกับเรา และสัตว์อื่นๆ

So why is The Big Lebowski now considered "the most popular cult film of all time"? Probably because its philosophy is so accessible and welcome. It encourages viewers to relax, take it easy, and remember what's important in life. In his own unlikely way, "The Dude" provides an example for us all to emulate and admire. Moreover, we believe that the way of the Dude is a perennial philosophy that has always existed to counter the excesses of civilization."

"Hermes was a trusted messenger for the gods and well known to be associated with the traits of communication and education, he also had the power to heal. So with this in mind I wanted the elephant to transform into Hermes, the messenger for the Elephant Parade and the elephants. He has travelled from destination to destination (The Parades) to communicate and educate the people with the message of the Parade. I also believe this will entice people to investigate further the parades actions and movements over the past years. As you can see there are various elements going on, a map for instance that will depict the destinations of the parade shown by the red dotted line. He has also picked up various souvenirs on his travels as clues from previous parades and countries. There are also other clues such as an Egg timer, this signifies time and that the elephants are running out of it rapidly. He has a couple of companions too, friends that keep him company, the bird who is un-caged so is seen as free and a symbol of good luck. The mouse, though tiny, signifies each and everyone of us, he signifies that we as individuals can make a difference, hence why he is holding a pair of clogs from Amsterdam, the origins of the Elephant parade where it all started."

Elephant Archive: The Naughty and the Elephant
"Just as the Elephant Parade travels from country to country, “The Elephant and the Cat” is inspired by the notion of us living beings as travelers on a journey. Metaphorically, it puts the wild Asian elephant and the city cat as travel companions traversing the beauty of this planet. The very essence of travel, the intuitive closeness to nature as well as the natural bond between the travelers is embodied in the paintings within the elephant. Hopefully, the moment we stop to look at the elephant is also the very moment we can stop to encounter each other, to meet, to love and to share."

With Transitions, the renowned Hong Kong architect, Andre Fu, seeks to convey the emotions as guests journey themselves within The Upper House. Fu uses a palette of deep violet and gold in a series of brushed strokes to evoke a sense of depth in the texture, resulting in a layered effect that is highly sensuous. The concept also seeks to juxtapose the rhythmic quality of brush strokes with the dripping deep violet paint - much akin to the artful experience within the hotel.

Elephant Archive: Translated Vase Baby Elephant
Yeesookyung reassembles fragments of discarded ceramics which were destroyed in the kiln, thus creating a completely unique new piece of ceramic art. The process of sealing the joints is done on impulse; hence, it is impossible to predict the outcome – until it is finally completed. The precondition is that the re-created ceramic piece should be spherical in shape, requiring therefore, meticulous attention to detail, and infinite care as the fragments come together, with the joints being sealed with gold - wounds, being painstakingly healed by the artist.

Na testa frutas marula que remete ao sol, referência de calor, de verão, de fruta madura... De um lado, mulheres grávidas dançam como num ritual tribal sobre frutas caídas no chão e sob a árvore, referência aos mitos e lendas do povo da África do Sul: A arvore do casamento, ritos de fertilidade, definição do sexo do bebê.

"Mosha, as a baby elephant, stepped on a landmine and lost her lower right leg. In need of urgent intensive care, she was rushed to the Friends of the Asian Elephant Hospital in Thailand . While visiting the hospital, Marc Spits met baby Mosha and was inspired to create Elephant Parade. At the hospital, doctors healed Mosha so that she could walk with a prosthetic leg. Today, Elephant could walk with a prosthetic leg. Today, Elephant Parade continues to support Friends of the Asian Elephant in Thailand so that Asian Elephant like Mosha can have a bright future. In her honor, a special Mosha elephant is created for each Elephant Parade exhibition held around the world."

"Since im a big fan of David Lynch movies, I decided to cover the elephant with white canvas, like from his movie The Elephant Man. It is more like a shy or terrified elephant. It also represent the anonymity and sense of helplessness of the elephant when it is slaughtered for its ivory. The all white cloth covers the elephant’s identity, his right to live is taken away from him because of the greed of mankind. I covered it in white cloth to represent ivory, which is the primary reason they are killed."

Elephant Archive: Whitegold
"The name “Whitegold” is not a reference to the colours used by the artist. The black colour reflects the enormous weight of the elephant’s massive body. The gold colour refers to the preciousness of these rare animals. The name “Whitegold” is used by the artist as a reference to the popular saying that someone behaves like an elephant “Bull in a China shop” when behaving clumsily. In the past, China (another name for porcelain) was something extremely precious. When the Saxonian King “August the Strong” (1670-1733) commissioned his alchemists to invent a formula for producing artificial gold and the surprise result was not gold but China, porcelain was called “Whitegold”. Different to the assumption in the saying that elephants are clumsy, “Whitegold” and his fellow elephants are sensitive and careful animals. They would rather try to avoid breaking the fragile China than trampling on it. That is the reason why the artist in his vision shows “Whitegold” as walking through a mountain of China (which is displayed at his four feet). Whilst walking, “Whitegold”, through its magical eyes, is watching us humans. What it sees are “the good” and “the bad” symbolized by a lavish collection of faces covering “Whitegold’s” whole forehead and his shoulders. “Whitegold’s” trunk is decorated with an image of Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. In contrast, evil hunters with their heavy guns appear in “Whitegold’s” left ear, symbolizing that in the very moment the elephant will hear the sharp noise of the hunter’s deadly shot, it will already been fatally hit (the bad). “Whitegold’s” right ear shows a variation of a kind of optical lenses. They symbolize the way in for information into the elephant’s huge and highly capable brain (the good). The tail is painted as a broken chain which “Whitegold” is proudly carrying away with its trunk. This is a symbol for “Whitegold’s” freedom by walking into the peaceful world of co-existence which the “Elephant Parade” is envisaging for elephants wherever they live."ตรงกันข้ามกับความเชื่อที่ว่าช้างเป็นสัตว์ที่งุ่มง่าม “ไวท์โกลด์” และผองเพื่อนเป็นสัตว์ที่มีความอ่อนโยนและระมัดระวัง พวกมันพยายามที่จะไม่เหยียบย่ำสิ่งของบอบบางที่อยู่บนพื้น ซึ่งเป็นที่มาที่ทำให้ศิลปินต้องการแสดงให้เห็นว่า “ไวท์โกลด์” กำลังเดินอยู่บนกองเครื่องกระเบื้องซึ่งวาดอยู่บนเท้าของช้างทั้งสี่ข้าง ในขณะที่ “ไวท์โกลด์” กำลังเดินอยู่ มันใช้สายตาวิเศษมองมาที่เหล่ามนุษย์ สิ่งที่มันเห็นคือ “ความดี” และ “ความเลว” ซึ่งถูกถ่ายทอดผ่านใบหน้าต่างๆ ที่อยู่บนหน้าผากและไหล่ของมัน งวงของ “ไวท์โกลด์” ตกแต่งด้วยภาพพระพิฆเนศซึ่งเป็นเทพเจ้าแห่งการขจัดอุปสรรค เทพเจ้าแห่งศิลปะวิทยาการ และเป็นเทพแห่งปัญญาและการหยั่งรู้ ในทางตรงกันข้าม เหล่านายพรานถือปืนผู้ชั่วร้ายปรากฏอยู่บนหูข้างซ้ายของ “ไวท์โกลด์” สื่อความหมาย ว่า ณ ขณะนั้น ช้างจะได้ยินเสียงลั่นของปืนและมันก็จะถูกยิงตาย (ความเลว) บนใบหูด้านขวาของ “ไวท์โกลด์” มีภาพเสมือนกับเลนส์อยู่หลายแบบ โดยเป็นสัญลักษณ์ถึงทางเข้าของข้อมูลต่างๆ เพื่อนำไปประมวลโดยสมองอันใหญ่โตและชาญฉลาดของช้าง (ความดี) หางของช้างได้รับการวาดให้เป็นโซ่ที่ขาดลง ซึ่ง “ไวท์โกลด์” ได้พาดมันอย่างภาคภูมิอยู่บนงวงของตน นี่คือสัญลักษณ์แห่งอิสรภาพของ “ไวท์โกลด์” ที่กำลังเดินเข้าสู่โลกคู่ขนานที่มีแต่ความสงบสุข ซึ่งเป็นวิสัยทัศน์ของ เอเลเฟนท์พาเหรด ที่อยากให้เกิดขึ้น ไม่ว่าพวกช้างจะอยู่ที่ใดก็ตาม

Elephant Archive: Dark Clouds Ahead
I once kept a small zoo in the garden, a sunny and cheerful time, but also a time when I was fortunately unaware of all the animal suffering in the big world. Everything was possible and allowed. Animals were traded and hunted in large numbers. Fortunately, a lot has changed since then, but despite the worldwide rules that exist in the trade and protection of exotic species, I see the future quite gloomy. It is not five to twelve, but only a few seconds before. Hence my title 'Dark Clouds Ahead'. My figures carry the hope for a (better) future on their backs, symbolized by the little elephants. Through a desolate landscape they search for water, greenery, a better world. I hope this initiative can illuminate their future and point them in the right direction. Away from the threatening clouds.

Fienicks symbolizes an urban "wasteland" to which nature slowly gives back color and eventually "nature" will dominate again.

Life gave me the possibility to travel a bit. I noticed that regardless of beliefs, nationality or race, kindness should be present everywhere. Ignorance makes our differences bigger such that tolerance, understanding and peace become more difficult to have. I think we are living in a very hard moment because we are losing attention to what matters, and what matters is not related to the amount of money or social recognition. What really matters comes wrapped in paper of smiles, kindness and care.

The pineapple is the symbol of Pineapple Valley Golf Club located in Hua Hin, which is known as an international center of pineapple farming.

Elephant Archive: The Metal Elephant
"The Metal Elephant: A Testament to Strength and Resilience" Crafted entirely from recycled metal parts, this magnificent sculpture embodies the strength, power, and endurance of an elephant. Each gear, bolt, and piece of steel tells a story of transformation—once discarded, now united to form a massive and awe-inspiring work of art. This elephant stands as a symbol of sustainability and creativity, reminding us of the beauty in giving new life to forgotten materials. Just as elephants represent wisdom and resilience, this statue showcases the power of innovation to create something extraordinary from the ordinary.

Elephant Archive: Ele-Vision
Named "Ele-Vision" the B-Quik elephant combines two words "Elephant and Vision," reflecting creativity and seeing the world from different perspectives. This is expressed by patterns of faces and eyes on the elephant, reflecting the diversity in perspectives, the creativity, and the appreciation of beauty in differences. Try appreciate the wonder of different perspectives on the world and life.

Elephant Archive: Ollie Niekark
Kunst en Cultur Nijkerk's wish was to display a large number of highlights of the municipality of Nijkerk on an elephant. I designed my Ollie with my powerful black line drawings in combination with the colors of the municipality of Nijkerk. Ollie Niekark has become an artwork full of details, a kind of search picture that you keep looking at, it will appeal to young and old. While the elderly try to recognize the buildings, the little ones are busy looking for all the little details such as butterflies, bees, birds and ladybugs. Besides the fact that I like to create, I also have a heart for nature, I like to be amazed by everything that grows and blooms. Everything came together in this process: creating and contributing to a wonderful cause.
/parades/elephant-archive/ollie-niekark
Elephant Archive: Treading Amongst a Colourful Autumn
The inspiration for my design came from the fact that I walk once or twice a week through the countryside and farmers have sown beautiful flowers for the insects that are having a hard time. In the spring I saw the first flowers bloom, in the summer others that had finished blooming in the fall, but how beautiful they still are... Elephants, beautiful, impressive, so big and intelligent, therefore strong but also vulnerable. If we can help them so that they can continue to live in the wild and not just in a zoo, then that gives a good feeling, grateful for everything in nature. Do everything you can to help us enjoy it for a long time, for generations to come.

Elephant Archive: Psychedelephant Two Personalities or Different Realities
This elephant shows how we all see the world from our own perspective. During the day it shows two completely different sides: One black and white with sleek pop art hearts and stars, and one bright, with vibrant colors. But in the dark they come together; the glow-in-the-dark contours make it clear that it is one and the same elephant. Everyone creates their own reality, shaped by beliefs, experiences or even manipulation. This is reflected in how we think about complex topics, such as a war or a political leader. Sometimes a situation feels black and white, but often there are nuances that we overlook. This elephant invites you to look beyond what you initially think you see. Choose what makes you feel good, but without harming others. Be open to new insights and continue to seek beauty in the unknown.

Elephant Archive: Keep your Eyes on the Elephants
I named my elephant: 'Keep your eyes on the Elephants', because I think it is very important that we can not and should not lose sight of our beautiful elephants.

Elephant Archive: Echoes in Red
In Echoes in Red, we celebrate the vibrant spirit and unity of the Nijkerk-Hoevelaken-Nijkerkerveen municipality. The striking red serves as a powerful canvas, where each city’s name in bright white, symbolizes interconnectedness. Red embodies strength, reflects a rich history and culture while invites to connection. Each name represents the heartbeat of a community filled with shared stories and dreams. I hope this artwork inspires pride in identity and appreciation for diversity, reminding us that together, we create a harmonious symphony that resonates throughout.
/parades/elephant-archive/echoes-in-red
Elephant Archive: Catrina Elefante
With its dazzling sugar skulls and swirling floral motifs, this elephant carries the essence of La Catrina – the elegant symbol of Mexico’s Day of the Dead. The design honors the beauty of life and the spirit of remembrance, reminding us that love and memories transcend time. Dressed in a tapestry of bold colors, this elephant is a celebration of art, culture, and the everlasting connection between generations.

Elephant Archive: Nightlife
In the quiet and very quiet night time, it is a time that many people often think of as the end of the day. But in fact, night is not the end but the beginning of new things that are ready to happen, including thoughts, happiness, the rebirth of many lives. This night will be the beginning of happiness and there will be another day tomorrow.

Elephant Archive: Elapsing
"Inspired by the idea of retaining the rare species of the elephant. As a result of the crazy pursuit of wealth by humans, this species has been on the brink of extinction for several years. Although people try to protect elephants by all means, it is still, just like a finger brushing through quicksand or flowing water, hard to stop life's passing." "ได้รับแรงบันดาลใจจากแนวคิดในการรักษาช้างพันธุ์หายาก อันเป็นผลมาจากความโลกมากของมนุษย์ ช้างเป็นสัตว์สายพันธุ์ ที่กำลังใกล้สูญพันธุ์เป็นเวลาหลายปี แม้ว่าผู้คนพยายามที่จะปกป้องช้างด้วยหลายวิธี แต่ก็ยังคงเหมือนกับการใช้มือเปล่าคว้าทราย หรือน้ำที่ไหลหลาก ยากที่จะสามารถหยุดยั้งได้"
