This minimalist hand-drawn poster was inspired by a viral thought experiment that asks: Would you rather encounter a man or a bear in the forest? - a question that, for many women, evokes an unsettling truth. The phrase “I choose the bear” has become a quiet battle cry in feminist spaces, expressing how normalized fear has become in everyday life. This artwork reclaims that fear and turns it into a bold, defiant choice.
The bear, rendered in a simple and clean style, represents not only nature but also instinct, power, and the unexpected allies we find when the world feels unsafe. The minimalist composition keeps the focus on the message, inviting contemplation rather than chaos. It’s designed to spark thought without shouting - quietly radical.
This piece brings a strong, reflective presence to any interior. It adds not just style, but a voice - perfect for those who value both beauty and meaning in their space.
