Glazer-Danay transforms a shoe shine box into a surreal commentary on climate change and cultural collision. Painted in arctic blues with flashes of red, purple, and green, its sides replace Darwin’s human evolution with a human-to-penguin shift and a penguin-to-buffalo transformation. Pop icons – a wind-up car, bold red lips, psychedelic patterns – collide with painted glaciers, contrasting distraction with crisis. Inside, a black-painted polar bear evokes wildlife consumed by oil, making Polarization both playful and urgent.
