A polar bear mother and her young cub swim through a vast, dark Arctic sea beneath a star-filled night sky. The mother turns her head back toward the little cub following closely behind, their wet ivory fur softly illuminated by cold moonlight (moon is out of view). Ahead, across a daunting stretch of open water, lies a distant, clearly defined sea-ice floe with a snowy top and angular blue-white edges. Far away on the left horizon, a small, ghostly apparition of the Titanic tilts into the sea, its bow submerged and stern raised. Four funnels and a few faintly illuminated windows suggest its identity; portions of the ship dissolve into mist, like a memory rather than a physical vessel. An environmental allegory: ice once threatened the ship; disappearing ice now threatens the bears. Tenderness, vulnerability, and quiet determination. Expressive painterly watercolor and gouache, layered washes, visible brushwork, textured paper, deep indigo, slate blue, muted teal, and luminous ivory. Natural bear anatomy, restrained emotion, no text. Exact likeness to base image
