My fascination with elephants started right from childhood. I love everything about them. For me they represent dominance as well as innocence. They are the GENTLE GIANTS that teach us humility. The ruggedness, weathering and texture on their skin speaks volumes of the wisdom they have gathered over years. And yet their eyes ask you to be calm and composed. This is what I have tried bringing out through as much detailing as I could. I wanted ELE to talk to us just by looking into her eyes. How can a huge animal be so gentle and nice? Isn't there so much for all of us to learn from ELE?
