Henna & Headscarves - Elephant Parade

Artist: Maria Hegedus
Taiwan 2016

Upon moving to the UAE, I was inspired by the multicultural
clothing worn by different nationalities. In particular, the bright
headscarves worn by many women and sold in the souqs. I also
experienced getting henna and fell in love with the intricately
detailed designs. I combined both of these elements in my design
in a design that celebrates the beauty of women.

Elephant Parade® is a social enterprise and runs the world’s largest art exhibition of decorated elephant statues. Created by artists and celebrities, each Elephant Parade statue is a unique art piece. Life-size statues are exhibited in cities around the world and raise awareness and funds for elephant conservation. Experts say the Asian Elephant could become extinct in 30 years!

Numbered limited edition, hand-painted replicas are created from the exhibition elephants and 20% of Elephant Parade net profits are donated to elephant welfare and conservation projects.

Each elephant is gift boxed and has a hologram of authenticity and a certificate listing the artist, series, production number, year, and parade city. They are hand-painted at the Elephant Parade studio in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Rigorous quality control procedures maintain high standards of quality, but please bear in mind that due to their hand-painted nature, there will always be minor variances and imperfections.
