“A white flag is synonymous throughout the world as a sign of surrender, truce, or desire to engage in battlefield negotiations. White Flag is a flag made from the hide of a polar bear shot and turned into a rug in the 1920s by a sport hunter of European descent. Biting a length cut from a tree serving as a flagpole, the bearskin stretches flat across the wall as if in a strong wind, no longer able to move freely. The work reflects the state of the Arctic and the vast global effects of human driven climate change on all life.”
