“Named after Reginald J Mitchell, designer of the Supermarine Spitfire, this Rhino is intended to celebrate the most iconic and important single seat fighter of World War II. The Spitfire took its first test flight at Eastleigh Aerodrome during March 1936 and the first production fighters were built for the RAF at the Supermarine factory at Woolston, Southampton.” – Damien Jeffery

This rhino is inspired by reflection and light. The horn is covered in crystals to symbolise the value of the rhino to its main predator, the human, but it also highlights that it’s precious and we should protect it. The mirrors will reflect all of the surroundings and have a strong visual impact wherever it is placed.

I’d seen that the splashtours bus came ashore right by the SS Rotterdam. I snapped this as it came ashore. A strange and wonderful way to see Rotterdam. PP in Photoshop CC and Color eFex pro 4 (Pre-Google).
