For this weeks theme of aging, I decided to photograph my stuffed elephant, Elephy (a genius name, I know). I’ve had Elephy since I was 7 months old, and all those years together have definitely left her a little worn down. She was bright pink and fully stuffed when we first got her, and now she’s pale and floppy. I think she represents both aging in the physical and emotional sense, as she has signs of physical aging, but she’s also been with me as I’ve aged and grown over the years.
