'The 2020’s so far has been an era for intimacy and family, therefore I chose to commemorate our present and future heirs, in Royal blue with celebratory swags of flowers and leaves. My egg is titled ‘The Queen and her Kings’. The Elephant Family have a history of using big art exhibitions to raise awareness for conservation, including the CoExistence campaign in 2021. This latest exhibition aims raise to awareness of conservation by highlighting the impacts of poaching and collectability. While it is illegal in many countries to take certain wild birds' eggs, the practice continues and can have serious implications for their conservation.
