"I’m a lonely bear. I am talking to myself. Please talk to me and be my friend!”

A stuffed bear that talks in response to your voice. It responds to certain words, so try talking to it a lot. When we try to think about loneliness, our self-consciousness inevitably gets in the way.

By having you contemplating loneliness objectively using a stuffed animal, we hope that you will have an opportunity to think about your own concept of “loneliness” and what is left when you subtract sentimentality from it.
