“HAVE YOU SEEN MY IVORY?” confronts the viewer with the harsh reality of poaching and violence against elephants. The artwork depicts an elephant whose tusk transforms into a shotgun, from which a little heart flows—a powerful symbol of vulnerability and loss. At the bottom stands a person with an ivory nose, reflecting human involvement. Surrounded by the text “HAVE YOU SEEN MY IVORY?” and subtle messages like “ALL WE GET KILLED WILL COME BACK” and “UNNECESSARY,” this piece invites reflection on greed, empathy, and the destructive impact of our actions on nature.

“HAVE YOU SEEN MY IVORY?” konfrontiert den Betrachter mit der harten Realität von Wilderei und Gewalt gegen Elefanten. Das Kunstwerk zeigt einen Elefanten, dessen Stoßzahn sich in eine Schrotflinte verwandelt, aus der ein Herz fließt – ein kraftvolles Symbol für Verletzlichkeit und Verlust. Unten steht eine Person mit einer Elfenbeinnase, als Spiegel menschlicher Beteiligung. Umgeben von dem Text „HAVE YOU SEEN MY IVORY?“ und subtilen Botschaften wie „ALL WE GET KILLED WILL COME BACK“ und „UNNECESSARY“ regt dieses Werk zum Nachdenken über Gier, Empathie und die zerstörerische Wirkung unseres Handelns auf die Natur an.

“HAVE YOU SEEN MY IVORY?” confronteert de kijker met de harde realiteit van stroperij en geweld tegen olifanten. Het kunstwerk toont een olifant wiens slagtand verandert in een jachtgeweer, waaruit een hartje stroomt – een krachtig symbool van kwetsbaarheid en verlies. Onderaan staat een persoon met een neus van ivoor, als spiegel van menselijke betrokkenheid. Omringd door de tekst “HAVE YOU SEEN MY IVORY?” en subtiele boodschappen zoals “ALL WE GET KILLED WILL COME BACK” en “UNNECESSARY”, zet dit werk aan tot reflectie over hebzucht, empathie en de destructieve impact van onze acties op de natuur.
