Description
Perched delicately atop a vibrant slice of watermelon, this sculpture captures the fragile, fleeting beauty of the endangered Northern White Rhino—a species now on the very edge of existence, with only two remaining on Earth. The richness of the bronze speaks to their ancient strength and enduring spirit, while the bright, playful watermelon beneath creates a poignant contrast, symbolising the sweetness and vitality of life that is so close to being lost. The golden horns elevate the rhino to something almost sacred, a quiet reminder of its immense value and the tragedy of its decline. Balanced between weight and lightness, permanence and fragility, the work becomes a reflection on how something so powerful can also be so vulnerable—and how its survival now rests entirely in human hands.
