"air bear" caption draft

The "air bear" is a piece of installation piece by artist Joshua Allen Harris, who is well known for his inflatable animals over subway grates. Some of his work includes mythical beasts and random creatures, all of which inflate to life, then "die" again after the train passes by. His piece the air bear was the first one of many. The work is a sculpture made of plastic bags resembling a polar bear stuck to subway grates and made to inflate when a subway train passes underneath. the sculpture is not life size, and the only details are the eyes and nose, and even those aren't realistic. But the way the bear is meant to be seen is comic, so the way its made fits it well. The ideas behind it can be the fact that polar bears are endangered so the artist is demonstrating the amount of "deaths" of the bear every time the air flows out of the bear. This artwork is legitimate because the artist demonstrates creativity in the idea of using the bear and skill in creating it with plastic bags. It also sparks a positive response from the viewers, who are just regular pedestrians.
