The Elephant 2018

"The Elephant" (2018) by Pieter Henket is a striking photographic portrait of a young boy wearing a large green leaf as a makeshift hat and holding a similar leaf in his hand. The image, which measures 980 mm in height, 744 mm in width, and 32 mm in depth, is notable for its use of natural elements as well as the child's intense gaze towards the viewer. The photograph’s simplicity and evocative imagery make it a compelling example of contemporary portraiture and documentary photography.
