Call for Change



My original image was selected from magazine 2006 Nature's Best Photography. The artist Norbert Rosing was a featured winner that I enjoyed. This photograph depicts a vacant and ice-less sea. Looking in the foreground the viewer will find an endangered polar bear floating on an iceberg. My interpretation for this photograph is that the artist was trying to make a statement about the effects of global warming. In this case it is about the polar bear's lack of habitat. In the Arctic there have been polar bear drownings. A polar bear may go out to hunt for the day and it may not be able to return because of the melting ice. For my re-mix piece, I wanted to give the polar bears more ice to live their daily lives on.
