For this larger (used/found) canvas I placed a polar bear upside down swimming, or fishing. He's plainly there, although perhaps not recognized at first glance, which I like. I see this as a rather hopeful telling of our current (or perhaps already lost) vision of what the sea is like in this time of climate change. The bear is fat, the cormorants are feeding, the icebergs are whole, and the kayaks are gleaming. Would be that the world could always be like this.
On the back is a magical creature of strange origins, done in pastel / charcoal.

"In a society dominated by consumer appeals and market research, I want to paint an opportunity to stop scrolling, to see to the root of something that matters, or at least breathe some clean air. I want us to remember our collective right to live in authenticity, without guilt."
