Description
Hippo Above It All, Capturing the World Through a Lens is a bronze sculpture portraying a pygmy hippo—an endangered and rarely seen species—seated atop an unusually tall chair, camera in hand, as though thoughtfully documenting the world below. This imaginative scene elevates a creature that is typically hidden within dense forests and riverbanks, inviting viewers to recognize both its vulnerability and its quiet importance in global biodiversity. The camera serves as a symbol of awareness: a reminder that conservation begins with truly seeing what is at risk, paying attention to the subtle shifts in habitats, and valuing species that often go unnoticed. By positioning the pygmy hippo as an observer rather than an overlooked figure, the sculpture offers a hopeful narrative—suggesting that through curiosity, understanding, and collective care, we can help ensure that rare and fragile species continue to have their place in the world’s story.
