{"product_id":"bear-minimum","title":"Bear Minimum","description":"\u003cp\u003eEllena is an emerging Brisbane-based fine artist who works primarily with rescued and acrylic paint on canvas. Following two strokes caused by injuries sustained in a fatal bus accident, Ellena was forced to leave her career as a senior user interface artist. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFacing the profound challenge of rebuilding her independence and identity as a professional, a wife, and a mother, Ellena turned to art. Creativity became both therapy and purpose throughout her 18 month recovery, supporting her journey to regain vision, cognition, vocabulary, and hand-eye coordination; ultimately reshaping her view of clinical spaces. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by flora and fauna, Ellena's vibrant works bring warmth, humanity, and occasionally gentle humour to clinical environments, transforming sterile spaces into places of comfort and connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow Ellena on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ellenajadecreative\/\" title=\"Follow Ellena on Instagram\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ellenajadecreative\/\" title=\"Follow Ellena on Facebook\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e and check out her \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/ellenajade.com\" title=\"Check out Ellena's website\"\u003ewebsite\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Bear Minimum' explores the power of reduction, stripping an image back to its essential form while retaining presence and impact. A metallic green brick bear sits alone against a pink-red background, inviting reflection on simplicity, memory, and perception. Created with recycled household paint, the work embraces limitation as a creative strength. For me, it also speaks to mental health - finding value in what remains when excess is removed, and recognising that less can still be enough.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ellena Jade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46098463916239,"sku":null,"price":1100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/3073\/3007\/files\/Ellena-Jade-Bear-Minimum-CU.jpg?v=1788742719","url":"https:\/\/recoveredfuturesshop.rfq.com.au\/products\/bear-minimum","provider":"Richmond Fellowship Queensland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
