Under the weight of old worlds, solar bear wakes up in speculative futures. Instinctively he starts to move. He learns to play with the weight. Learns to transform, to form, to grow. In the process, new worlds keep piling up, evolving and swallowing themselves whole. solar bear stands for a transformed figure in the future that constantly adapts to changes in the environment and tries to recycle given elements of the world.

In Solarpunk’s vision of the future, the energy needed is generated using only renewable resources and successfully limiting environmentally harmful emissions. The aesthetics of the alternative art movement are characterized by the fusion of futuristic elements and Art Nouveau,. Seaking harmonise with nature. How such a world can be socially realized for all the people of the world is shown by the rapsing of visions against current realities. In cyberpunk visions of the future, post-apocalyptic conditions are often described in which survival would only be ensured by augmenting the human body with technology. Tuning one’s own body into a cyborg through masks, technological sensors, visual aids or social adaptation can allow people to grow beyond their own limits of possibilities.
solar bear, being affected by those visions, tries to rewrite and plays with the idea of creating an aesthetic example in which organic and inorganic life can be powered by the sun and tries to balance utopian and dystopian sequences surrounded by melting icebergs.
