Hippo Under Cover (Bronze Sculpture, Small)

"Hippo Under Cover" portrays a gentle, contemplative hippo resting beneath a gleaming gold umbrella, transforming one of Africa’s most powerful animals into a symbol of unexpected vulnerability. Despite their size and strength, hippos face growing threats from habitat loss, conflict, and climate change. The gold umbrella becomes a delicate shield—an invitation for us to recognise how fragile their world has become. Through this quiet, intimate moment, the sculpture reminds us that even the mightiest creatures need protection, urging us to step forward as guardians before their refuge disappears.
