POLAR

By  Gemma Wood 2022
POLAR celebrates the majesty and scale of the polar bear as it slips onto the ‘vulnerable to extinction’ list. Life-sized sculptures lit with LEDs. The pieces of accompanying ice act as a time capsule of frozen promises, moving poetry and famous speeches, whilst illustrating the micro-plastics and fishing paraphernalia that are locked into the eco system. Made with recycled materials and EcoPoxy resin it strives to be as sustainable as possible. First commissioned by LightNightLeeds.
