The Great Elephant Migration in the Meatpacking District, NYC

This public art installation features 100 life-size sculptures of Indian elephants scattered across the Meatpacking District. This fascinating public art installation of life-size elephant sculptures made from dried lantana camara is a powerful commentary on both wildlife and environmental issues. The choice of material reflects a dual message—highlighting the beauty of these majestic animals while also raising awareness about the impact of invasive species on habitats. The Meatpacking District should provide a vibrant backdrop for such an exhibit.
