https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55021042565_ed12320eab_b.jpg **The Story: Strength Found in Tenderness** True power often resides in the gentlest of gestures. This 2025 creation, "I am Soft, yet Strong," features a polar bear accompanied by blooming flowers, serving as a functional vase. It embodies the Denise philosophy: **"Love yourself like an animal"**—honoring the instinctual balance between power and softness. While the polar bear possesses immense physical strength, it interacts with the flower with the utmost care. This "softness" is not weakness, but a courageous capacity to embrace life's delicate moments. May this piece remind you to hold space for the "flowers" in your own life. Drink when thirsty, rest when tired, and cherish your own soft heart. **100% Hand-Pinched Soul** In alignment with our commitment to authenticity, this piece is entirely hand-pinched without the use of molds.
