2nd Place – Sculpture
 
Title of Art Piece: Crisis
Category: Sculpture – 2023
Student/Artist’s Name: Emylee McCormick
School: North Pole High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement: This piece is meant to depict the struggles of a polar bear. It’s cold, as shown by the blue-purple color pallet overtop the yellow. It’s tired and starving so it has laid down to rest. I was inspired to make this sculpture due to my love of Alaskan wildlife and personal concerns about the climate crisis.
Artwork Dimensions: 18 inches long X 7 inches wide X 4 inches tall
