"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."
