Interpretation

My bear is titled "The Bridge." I used the physical forms of the bridge Oberbaumbrücke (the bridge that connects West and East Berlin) to represent how the rhythm of life is directed by society's conception of time. How life can be fragmented or how it can flow in time.

The front represents the search, the back represents the awakening. The universal clock doesn't exist. Society's perception of time is not the same here as it is there. Everything depends on how society perceives progress.
