Zhdun, a grey seated creature with an elephant-like head and folded hands Ждун · the one who waits

He waits.

Hands folded. No expression. No hurry. Whatever you are waiting for, he is already doing it better than you.

Three things

About Zhdun

01 — ORIGIN

He is a sculpture

Dutch artist Margriet van Breevoort made him in 2016 for a hospital in Leiden, titled Homunculus loxodontus. He was built to represent patients sitting in a waiting room.

02 — THE NAME

Ждун means "the waiter"

A photo of him reached the Russian internet in early 2017 and he was renamed Zhdun — the one who waits. Within weeks he was in every comment section in the country.

03 — WHY HE WORKS

He fits everything

Queues, deliveries, texts left on read, charts that do nothing. He never reacts, so he can be dropped into any situation where somebody is stuck waiting.
