The Last Circus

14x14cm, molded porcelain

I was prompted by the topic of circus that was being discussed. Discussions and protests against circus animals evoke a number of different emotions. I perceive circuses rather as something that happened in the Czech Republic in the traditional way of entertainment, which would be a shame to end, and evoke memories of my childhood. Therefore, on impulse I depict one of the animals, typical of the well-known circus Berousek, in a picturesque position. The sculpture of a bear on a scooter was created as a possible reminder for future generations, one Czech tradition that may disappear.
