'Despite Humanity IV' is a deeply emotive piece inspired by the remarkable memory and emotional intelligence of elephants. Each handcrafted elephant head represents a fragment of memory—some joyful, some scarred—bound together in a grid of shared experience. The work invites viewers to reflect on loss, resilience, and the power of collective remembrance. With subtle differences between each head, the sculpture emphasizes individuality within unity. The framed presentation enhances its archival feel, as if preserving the memories themselves. Ceramic was chosen for its earthy, tactile quality—delicate, yet enduring.
