The Hippopotamus's Mouth – Botswana
✨ Description
In the heart of a peaceful pond in Botswana, a hippopotamus slowly emerges from the surface.
Is he waking up from a nap? Certainly, because it's the middle of the day.
With a huge yawn, he reveals the quiet power of the lord of the waters.
This gesture, both innocuous and spectacular, symbolizes the duality of this animal: peaceful and formidable, silent and yet undisputed master of its territory.
A suspended moment where nature, in its raw simplicity, reminds us that the most impressive force is often the one that does not seek to impose itself.
I offer this photograph in a 30x20 cm print, a Plexiglas print on Dibond aluminum backing. This format enhances the artwork by adding brilliance and contrast , creating a sense of great depth.
This work is produced in a limited edition of 30 copies, across all formats and media, numbered and signed.
Other media, formats and/or framing can be made on request to suit your space and your sensibilities, depending on the availability of the series.
🔧 Technical specifications
Size: 30x20 cm
The photograph is perfectly showcased thanks to the combination:
- Dibond aluminum – a guarantee of stability and durability;
- Glossy acrylic glass (2 mm thick) – for a marked brilliance and depth;
- Premium photo printing (Fuji Crystal DP II papers) – guaranteeing high-resolution reproduction rich in detail.
The different materials are sealed together using an elastic and flexible silicone , absorbing temperature variations for a durable bond, without bubbles or cracks.
To enhance the artwork at its peak, a Slimline frame in gold aluminum hugs the contours of the painting, highlighting the colors of the photograph with an elegant and discreet touch.
The artwork is offered with a practical hanging system , adapted to its size and format. (Fixing elements such as screws, wall plugs, or picture rails are not included.) It is also possible to order the artwork without a hanging system upon request.
