Germany, Idar-Oberstein, 2000s, Gemstone engraver: MATTHIAS FICKINGER Anchor chain: 18K white gold (750/-), stamped. Handmade. Wall made of a jasper plate (Silex) with graffiti, polar bear on ice floe carved out of rock crystal, base made of silver shimmering mahogany obsidian. Wall and base circa 23 x 21.5 x 13.5 cm, polar bear circa 10.5 x 7 cm, chain length circa 11 cm. Total weight circa 2302 g. The graffiti painted wall is made of jasper (silex). The base of gray shimmering obsidian. The ice floe is symbolically attached to that graffiti wall with a white gold anchor chain. Here Matthias Fickinger takes up the current topic of climate change. The polar bear on an ice floe is not only a symbolic image for the North Pole, but has also become a symbol of the catastrophic effects of global warming that the planet is currently experiencing. ''There is no Planet B'' and ''make art not war'' - the polar bear on the floe is chained to a wall painted with graffiti. The chain represents the polar bear's inseparable connection to its environment, which is seriously threatened by climate change.
