Homunculus Loxodontus
Homunculus Loxodontus is also known as Zhdun, “The One Who Waits”, Snorp, Wosh and Ждун.
The Leiden University Medical Center originally awarded artist Margriet Van Brevoort a grant to create the sculpture for an annual art competition held by the Leiden Sculpture Foundation, where the sculptural theme for 2016 competition was biological sciences. Brevoort did not want to depict something related to the grim side of medicine or disease, and instead focused on the patients, ordinary people waiting to see a doctor for a diagnosis. According to her, the sculpture meant to convey the message that “you should calmly wait for diagnosis with hope for the best”.
