Covered in the armored scales of an alligator, this bear explores the ways protection is developed through experience. Unlike markings that exist for display or recognition, an alligator's skin serves a practical purpose. It is a product of adaptation, shaped by the demands of survival.
By combining this protective exterior with the familiar form of a teddy bear, the work examines how individuals are changed by the environments they move through. Every challenge, disappointment, and hardship leaves an impression, gradually influencing how we navigate the world and respond to it.
Thick Skin reflects the tension between vulnerability and endurance. It considers how the qualities developed through survival can become so deeply ingrained that they begin to shape identity itself. The work asks where adaptation ends and authenticity begins, and whether the things that protect us ultimately become part of who we are.
