Sculpture in the shape of a bear. Text is carved into the structure.
Text of the artwork:
snow drifts soundlessly across the frozen void
empty endless white
a porcelain landscape
pure barren ice
raven appears
jet black smooth descending
surveying
the silence is broken
voice of raven echoes
shifting ice floes crumble
glacial retreat
the earth uncovered steams
growth
abundance
warm green wonder
on return raven ponders
conjuring a white reminder
memorial to the frozen past
spirit bear is born

• Spirit Bears. In 2005-2006, the city partnered with the Two Rivers Gallery and the BC Lions Society to bring the Spirit Bear program to Prince George. Life size fiberglass Kermode bears were transformed into works of art by local artists. These were auctioned off for charity and a few are still displayed for public viewing.
