A life-size African elephant head extends its trunk, which ends in the bell of a French horn. This sculpture honors the wisdom of matriarchs, whose memory and leadership echo across generations—like music passed down through time. The horn symbolizes this enduring guidance and also nods to the site’s rich musical history, paying tribute to the jazz-era musicians who once filled these oceanfront halls with sound.
