Seven elephants is a popular set of figurines, believed to have come to European culture from India, where it is associated with the god Ganesha, happiness and longevity. In Russia, seven miniature elephants of different sizes, displayed by height, were a symbol of well-being and a talisman of good luck. Often in works of art they were presented as an attribute of bourgeois life and bad taste.

Here they are displayed unfinished in an unusual order and rather demonstrate the individuality of each individual elephant.

The project was presented as part of the exhibition "Nature of the Future" at the Cultural Center "Solodovnya".
