“Caring Bear: Mockery”

“Caring Bear: Mockery” is a work that represents a bear with a human face, with closed and sad eyes, and a gear on its forehead symbolizing a defense mechanism. On its chest, a mocking face with blank eyes like a zombie and a critical reptilian eye. The work may symbolize mockery as a defense against emotional vulnerability. The bear, which is normally a symbol of tenderness and protection, is shown here with a sad face and a defense mechanism, suggesting that mockery can be a way to hide one’s true nature.
