Unusual companions sit side by side on an arid ledge that stretches across a barren, endless plain: a Siberian eagle owl, a majestic tiger, a massive elephant seal, a pensive human and an imposing elephant. The animals and man appear to be united in silent unity, their gaze staring into the distance, towards the horizon, where no change can be seen - an image of waiting and quiet hope. The sky above them is cloudless, bright blue and yet depressingly empty, while the surroundings are characterised by dryness and desolation.
The surrealistic composition blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy. The arrangement of the figures radiates calm, but the desolation of the surroundings and the unwavering waiting symbolise a deeper message: the uncertain fate in the face of climate change.
Each character contributes to the quiet story - the wisdom of the owl, the strength of the tiger, the earthiness of the elephant, the melancholy of the human and the otherness of the elephant seal. Together they form a thought-provoking ensemble that captures the moment before change - a silent reminder and hope at the same time.
