The Elephant Keeps On Walking As Dogs

A monumental elephant, cloaked in a delicate red-floral skin, lies like a quiet continent at the center of a restless, miniature world—its softened mass turning power into vulnerability. Around it, scattered vignettes of people, animals, and microphones read like fragments of public spectacle, suggesting how collective narratives swarm, annotate, and commodify the bodies we deem symbolic. The restrained ground and lace-like branching lines amplify a sense of brittle stillness, while the crimson blossoms puncture the calm with intimations of tenderness, trauma, and survival. The work becomes a meditation on scale and attention: the “unsayable” weight in the room rendered intimate, even ornamental, as voices gather to interpret what cannot be fully contained.
