An Intimate Portrait of Trust and Connection

In the heart of Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya, I captured a serene and powerful moment between a young female elephant and her matriarch mother. The young elephant leans gently against her mother’s flank, a single leaf resting on her head, every crease and texture of skin rendered in luminous black and white. This portrait honours the quiet strength and deep trust of family in the wild, preserved with archival clarity.

Presented as a museum multi-panel acrylic, the photograph is divided into three horizontal panels under crystal-clear acrylic glass. The image is reproduced to maintain the continuity of the scene across each horizontal panel, preserving the intimacy of the moment while offering a striking, gallery-scale presentation.
