1. My Little Princess
By Summer Meng & Huang Yuan Tzu
We want to create a baby elephant that looks like a young girl. To remind people to not treat elephants as ‘things’ or inferior creatures. They have the same rights as us to live on this planet. They have their own language and feel, just as we do.

6. The Metal elephant
By Studio Chiang Mai
‘The Metal elephant: A Testament to strengthen 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 stroy 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.

Try to appreciate the wonder of different perspectives on the world of life.
