Wonder, part of the Girl’s Girl series, portrays a woman embracing a bear, symbolizing mutual safety, empathy, and connection to the Earth. Surrounding animals, a deer, rabbit, owl, cat, dog, and two rats, are honored for their unique intelligence and resilience, forming a circle of interspecies solidarity. The woman’s clothing reflects self-defined sensuality without objectification, through the bear’s gaze, she feels seen as a whole human being. Referencing the “Bear vs. Man” debate, the piece highlights how women and animals share vulnerabilities within patriarchal systems. Together, they unite softness and strength, reconnecting to nature as a source of protection and grounding.
