"Statement: The majestic appearance of elephants coupled with their gentle nature generally invites people to be close to them. Unfortunately, this has led to their abuse and threatened their species as animals are not things to be ‘toyed with’. ‘Rocky’ Medium: Resin, Wool, foam and plywood The installation of ‘Rocky’ is my interpretation of that concept using a very literal approach: The first of the 3-toy series, Rocky is a soft toy rocking animal that comes to life as it is ridden. ‘Little Franky’ Medium: Resin, Wool, foam Franky is a tiny elephant on wheels that needs to be walked by his caretaker. He was created to be Rocky’s little companion and will be donated to the buyer of ‘Rocky’ if the buying price exceeds the amount of HKD. ‘Cuddles’ Medium: Wool, PP synthetic cotton To complete the toy series, Cuddles is Rocky’s sister, a 1:1 scale plush toy elephant that can and should be loved and hugged."
