Installed in the spring of 2016 at the children's hospital of the Leiden University Medical Center, with "Homunculus Loxodontus", sculptor Margriet van Breevoort did not want to depict "the grim side of medicine or disease, and instead focuse on the patients, ordinary people waiting to see a doctor for a diagnosis."
"There’s something endearing about him, and as the viewer, you hope it all turns out OK."
Surging in worldwide fame, fans have nicknamed him "The One Who Waits".
