“Caring Bear: Ignorance” is a work that represents a bear with a human face, with its eyes covered by a blindfold. On its chest, a face with a clock hand pointing to 12. The work may symbolize ignorance as a state of limited consciousness, where the person does not see or does not want to see reality. The blindfold over the eyes represents the lack of knowledge or denial, while the clock may symbolize the time lost due to ignorance. The “Caring Bear” series may explore different aspects of the human condition, and this piece focuses on ignorance as a limitation for growth and understanding.
