This series of photos got a very special meaning to me. The sculptures were made by me more than ten years ago. This is the first bear I sculpt. The bear in this photo is a duplication of the original sculpture. It looks like melting because I took it out from the mold before the material is fully cure. During the period I sculpt this bear, I was working as a graphic and product designer. We need to work for a long time everyday, sometimes need to work overnight. I can remember there is one project we need to work for two overnight, by the third day, I sit in my chair with my brain was fully empty, my eyelids were as heavy as a iron, just like you can't use the B mode of a camera, I think the f/stop is f1/2, I couldn't keep my eye open! My hand was holding a pen and drawing but I didn't know what I was drawing! Finally my mouth kiss my leg just like the melting bear! This photo is a self-portrait of me about ten years ago! This photo is dedicated to all designers in the world.
