  • "Gorilla" by Lorenzo Quinn (2018): This bronze sculpture of a gorilla, standing upright with its arms raised, is a tribute to the endangered species and a call to action to protect them. The sheer size and weight of the gorilla make it an imposing presence, while its expressive face conveys a sense of sadness and vulnerability.

  • "Polar Bear" by Nick Mackman (2019): This life-size ceramic sculpture of a polar bear captures the animal’s grace and power, while also highlighting the threat posed to their existence by climate change.
