Rainbow Reef 20 cm

Elephant parade Rainbow Reef 20 cm

Elephant Name : Rainbow Reef 20 cm

Artist :   by Nara Strete

Inspiration: Rainbow Reef was conceived when I began thinking about nature conservation and the interconnected relationships between all ecosystems and life on earth. The health of our oceans and river systems affects the health of our land and the creatures that inhabit it. I also wanted to explore nature in a fantastical way – exaggerating the wealth of colours, shapes, and species that live in a coral reef.

Elephant parade events

Elephant Parade is a social enterprise and runs the world’s largest art exhibition of decorated elephant statues. Created by artists and celebrities. Thus Each Elephant Parade statue is a unique art piece. International cities always exhibit the life-size elephants and raise awareness for the need of elephant conservation.

History

2006 was the first elephant parade event by Marc Spits and his son Mike. The inspiration came from Marc Spits’ visit (while logging in Myanmar) to the elephant hospital in Thailand, which constructs prosthetic legs for elephants that encounter landmines. There he saw Mosha, a baby elephant who lost her foot when only seven months old. Thus the idea of the event came to existence.
