Thank you, Ganesh. The 'herd' here is depicted in a non-obvious but relational way… it therefore still remains a herd of elephants
…sure I did work with tonal adjustments. This one still appealed to me a month on
cooler tones were too sepulchral. I wanted to convey emotions associated with togetherness, hence warm. I did not see 'weak' as weak in this image but more as maturity, as wisdom, as history; of matriarchy. Thats because elephants herds are matriarchal … which results in they being minded not by the strongest but the wisest
