This mosaic artwork captures the essence of a polar bear through a rich interplay of Smalti glass, ceramic dishes, and tiles. The close-up composition highlights the bear’s expressive gaze and textured fur, evoking both the strength and vulnerability of this majestic Arctic creature. The varied materials bring depth and movement to the piece—Smalti glass reflecting icy hues, ceramic fragments adding unexpected detail, and tiles forming a dynamic surface. This work not only celebrates the beauty of the polar bear but also serves as a reflection on its fragile existence in a changing climate.
