Polar Bears in the Sky

ecoideasnet decided to spread awareness about current environment issues in the most creative way possible! Believe it or not these fluffy polar bear shaped clouds are made from a combination of helium and natural soap. These polar bears were constructed behind large icebergs before they were released into the air and free to fly.

“The aim of the display is to provoke the onlooker to consider a deeper, more environmentally dire meaning contained within each cloud: Are these, metaphorically speaking, endangered-animal souls being sent to heaven? Or are the forms simply a representation of how delicate and short-lived the state of our current bear population is?”

Cloud watching just got 10x more fun in Japan.
