Item Description
This 'Padchinh' is an original double footprint of Wally, a rescued circus elephant at the Wildlife SOS, Elephant Conservation and Care Center in India.
This is a collaborative work of Wally the elephant and Singapore-based India-born artist, Alpana Ahuja, who worked closely for several months with Wildlife SOS to understand the challenges Indian elephants face in the wild and in captivity.
Alpana said, “I was moved to tears when I saw the plight of the elephants, but I was filled with hope when I saw the efforts made by NGO Wildlife SOS to heal and protect these elephants. I decided to take the help of art to raise awareness and funds to help the elephants in India."
This painting is unique, special and original and was created with tremendous patience, subject entirely to Wally's decision to participate in the process, largely influenced by bananas, dates and other treats! Alpana painted the background and Wally stepped on the canvas to leave his footprint.
No cruelty or negative conditioning was used in the creation of this painting.
The purchase of this item can feed Wally, the rescued circus elephant for two weeks!
