The primary idea behind the image is that of the threat of extinction due to such problems as habitat loss, poaching, and global warming. But as an iconic symbol of "down" stock markets it can also make a powerful statement about the dangers of investment and monetary policies. This image offers the advantage of being easily cropped to any format while retaining copious copy space to make life easier on art directors, designers and photo editors.
As photographers we have an opportunity and even a responsibility to create imagery that can in some measure move the world in a positive direction. In this image of a bear with an uncertain future I hope to add my voice to those who advocate environmental responsibility. The bear is a symbol of power and strength, but in this image the bear is vanishing in a conundrum and paradox of vulnerability and strength. The vulnerability of the bear moves us in a sympathetic direction towards him and shows that his existence is in reality quite fragile.
The transparency of the bear is also an indication of change, a transition, whether it is in reference to business concepts such as the stock market, or the natural environment that the bear depends upon for survival. The storm clouds in the background reinforces the theme of change. The bear is a symbol of change and the graduating transparency can show that the coming change is beneficial, or dangerous. This is an image that shows that thinking "green" is necessary to insure a successful future.
