Article link: This Just Inbox: Scott Wilson's Polar BearThis article is about a sculpture called Umka done by Scott Wilson for Humanscale's 9th annual Faces in the Wild auction. Apparently, "umka" is the word for "polar bear" in Chukchi, and it fits perfectly, as this is a minimalist sculpture of a polar bear.
I just love it, because it's so beautiful, and the best part is your mind automatically goes to "polar bear" without even knowing the name of the sculpture. I love that it's made of aluminum instead of something just white, because I think the reflective quality of the sculpture gives it that "oomph" that a white sculpture wouldn't have.
