INSIDE THE BEAR.
My name... it stands for 'Running Outta Love For You'. I am a teddy bear that reflects the African American man. We give our loved ones a teddy bear when we love and care for them. I would be the bear that would be given to one of his loved ones. Symbolizing the everyday reality of the true feelings that he experienced, due to the many situations they took him through. For one that tends to hold things in, he has difficulties expressing himself. Allowing his pain and anger to build and destroy him mentally. Me... I am the side of him that no one has seen. I am covered in subliminal messages that visually represent what he went through, and the way he expresses himself.
While it is difficult to progress through the healing process, it is easier done when you reflect with an open mind to understand the lessons in hardships. Each design is an expression of the feelings he is feeling while going through the healing process. Even though the situation may not be the same, the lessons are still relevant in your life. "Different road, same destination". Everyone goes through adversity of their own, it is the wisdom you gain from it that determines the impact on your life. Let's build this community to connect and grow with one another and no one feels alone in their situations.
