Cuddly toy (hippopotamus)

I have kept this object my whole life and when I have to think about which object I will hold in 2084, I immediately knew it was this one. It's about Hippo, the hippopotamus. It's supposed to represent a hippopotamus, because it becomes less recognizable with age. This hug has followed me all my life and has supported me in every event. As you can see from the photo above, this hippo is not a copy of the real thing. As Magritte would say, this is no hippopotamus. In my opinion yes and much more. I think this one is as realistic as any cuddly toy and has a creative side, which I think suits me. Because you probably haven't come across a pink hippo with blue dots anywhere yet, but this is proof that it is indeed possible.
