We Are The Bear
Teddy bears, beloved the world over. Here, those teddy bears are reimagined as quirky, one-of-a-kind characters that have come from a "wondrous (Wonder) dimension (Dimension)." This solo exhibition, presenting and selling teddy bears of unforgettable charm and remarkable craftsmanship, marks the first solo show and the culmination of the work of WON_Jacky, who has built a career centered on collaborations and made-to-order pieces.

This solo exhibition, "We Are The Bear," becomes a fun and wondrous space filled with these distinctive teddy bears. In addition to WON_Jacky's original teddy bears, teddy bears created in collaboration with other artists and apparel brands are also presented as works.

We are also taking orders — limited to 30 pieces — for "Memory-Teddy," an art project that reincarnates cherished clothing you can no longer wear into a teddy bear, so you can enjoy it for many years to come!
