Carved from over 2000 pounds of pink calcitic marble, this sculpture depicts a playful bear with a chubby form and an endearing pose. The soft pink stone, accented by bands of beige, black, red, orange and yellow with sparkles of calcite crystals, adding a luminous quality. Blending whimsy and sophistication, the piece invites viewers to explore themes of tenderness and strength.

During the early stages of planning this sculpture, the artist envisioned a joyful and charming bear—one with a rounded figure and a prominent belly to emphasize its approachable and fun nature. The pink marble added a natural feminine quality, giving the bear a soft and endearing character.  This piece stands as a deeply intimate work, uniting the artist’s creative vision with a moment of transformation in her life, embodying both the playful spirit of the bear and the quiet power of creation.
