In this stark monochrome vision, an elephant’s monumental head becomes a vessel for the psyche—its forehead opened into a geometric chamber where a pale, clustered core reads like a fragile mind-lotus or a suspended organ of memory. The composition hinges on vertical symmetry, yet it is unsettled by the finely scored lines that sweep across the form, turning skin into atmosphere and weight into vibration, as if thought itself is striating the body. Below, two human figures tug at a web of hair-thin filaments, suggesting an invisible labor of control—forces that bind, soothe, or restrain the animal’s inner radiance. The work meditates on power and tenderness at once: the revered icon of strength rendered vulnerable, its interior life exposed to the quiet engineering of human hands.
