Do you remember the giant yellow rubber duck that traveled to different cities around the world? Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, who gave "life" and fame to the oversized floating rubber duck, now brings his latest design - The Bubblecoat Elephant - to south China’s Shenzhen. /Photo from sohu.com
Lying on his puffy stomach on the rooftop of Shenzhen’s new landmark building, The MixC Shopping Mall, the 7.5-meter-tall Bubblecoat Elephant looks like he’s watching over the people down below. /Photo from sohu.com
To make the art installation more interactive, Florentijn added playful elements to this static sculpture: A huggable bubble-like appearance and a trunk that sprays water at regular intervals. /Photo from sohu.com
A smaller sized Bubblecoat Elephant is also available for customers to buy inside the shopping mall. All the profit from selling the toy elephants will be donated to Orbis China, an eye-care charity, according to Ecns.cn. /Photo from sohu.com
