Taivas Asukas, reimagines the Finnish ‘Sky Dweller’ (the belief that bears are star-born deities) by casting the Andean Spectacle bear in this divine role, bridging the gap between Northern folklore and South American biodiversity. By replacing the traditional brown bear with the Spectacle bear (the only bear species native to South America), I wanted to create a dialogue between my roots and my current inspirations. The composition is anchored by symbolism, weaving together the Finnish Lily of the Valley and the Colombian Orchid (Cattleya trianae) to represent a harmony between two distinct identities.
