The elephant’s body is formed through irregular fields of color, creating a mosaic within the larger bead mosaic. Deep blues, greens, reds, golds, and soft neutral tones come together across its face, ears, trunk, and body, allowing each section to maintain its individuality while contributing to a unified figure.
Thousands of individually placed glass beads create a dimensional surface that shifts with the light. Directional details along the trunk, face, and white tusks define the elephant’s form, while its lifted posture introduces movement and a playful sense of confidence.
Pachy balances the strength traditionally associated with the elephant with the openness and curiosity of a young animal. The work reflects warmth, individuality, and resilience through an unexpected use of color.
