A moment of childhood, captured forever.

With “A baby elephant of our own,” Sophie Verger composes a scene that feels both playful and deeply touching — a fleeting instant of shared joy, transformed into timeless bronze.

A young boy and girl, united in their spontaneous laughter, each claim their part of the game: one gently pulling the elephant’s trunk, the other tugging its tail. Between them, the elephant smiles — not as a subject, but as a companion. A friend. A quiet accomplice in their innocent mischief.

There is no tension here, only harmony. The sculpture radiates that rare and precious balance of childhood: the freedom to play, the simplicity of connection, the unquestioned presence of trust. It is a world where humans and animals meet on equal ground, bound by joy.

Verger’s genius lies in this subtle storytelling — the softness of the forms, the liveliness of the gestures, the almost breathing warmth of the bronze. Every angle reveals a new emotion, a new tenderness, as if the scene could come alive at any moment.

To live with this piece is to preserve that feeling: a daily reminder of lightness, affection, and shared happiness. It doesn’t simply decorate a space — it fills it with life.

A baby elephant of your own… and with it, a piece of childhood that never fades.
