Homunculus loxodontus

Homunculus loxodontus, nicknamed Zhdun ("The One Who Waits"), is a statue by Dutch artist Margriet van Breevoort (). It was made for the Leiden University Medical Center and installed in the spring of 2016. It became popular in post-Soviet countries where it is called "Ждун" (Russian) / "Почекун" (Ukrainian) / "Пачакун" (Belarusian) ("Zhdun"/"Pochekun"/"Pachakun", meaning “the Awaiter”).
Composition.
According to the sculptor, the figure symbolizes the emotions of people who wait at the doctor's office.
Internet meme.
In 2017 in Russia and a number of Eastern European countries the sculpture (renamed Zhdun, a fabricated noun version of the Russian verb "zhdat", which means "to wait") has become an Internet meme, in which it is edited into famous paintings, photographs, videos, and other visual media. Models have been photographed in locales including an empty seat in the Ukrainian Parliament.
CD Land, a media company, bought the Russian media rights for five years starting in 2017.
