Interpretation

The concept for the design of this bear came out of the attempt and wish that all countries of the world acknowledge the spark of love and the air of friendship. This spark of love comes from the deepest reaches of the hearts of all people in the Dominican Republic, a people full of love, happiness and spirit.

All of these characteristics of our people can be seen on the bear, in the happiness of the colour, in the sensuality of the form and in the intensity of motion on the bear.
