Great allegorical work.
Anton Vrede says about this: "The elephant is a long-suffering animal, wise and tolerant. It was admired for its strength and was the beloved mount of heroes, kings and gods. I also often use the monkey. In ancient Egypt it was treated with respect, just like in Eastern mythology. In it, it acts as the messenger of the gods, who carries out their orders even though he does not always understand them himself. In my work, it figures as a kind of jester, who is allowed to do things that I cannot let another alter ego do."
