About the artwork series:
Paola Pivi’s renowned bears with their feathery coats, exude a charming anthropomorphism. Positioned with meticulous care, the bears engage in playful poses—dancing, performing circus acts, and practicing yoga—embodying a spirit of youthful joy. Yet beneath this playful exterior lies a deeper message about the plight of polar bears in a rapidly changing climate.
By juxtaposing their vibrant, joyful appearances with the grim realities of their habitat’s deg-radation, Pivi encourages viewers to reflect on the fragility of nature and the urgent need for conservation
