Friendship of a global kind is a metaphor for friendship without limits. As such, friendship can span across the globe and overcome any distance and differences, be it cultural, social or issues of race. The polar bear and the penguin live on opposite sides of the globe and will never meet, but yet, in this depiction, their distance and differces are overcome.
There is a also a climate theme in my image that hints at the warmer climate that the polar bear is now facing, looking longingly into the snow globe at the snow that has long since melted away in his own world. Some food for thought.
