Created a year before Kings of the Current as part of the same video production, Wild Territory features a powerful grizzly bear mid-roar, standing against a snowy forest backdrop. A prominent red star in the corner nods to the California state flag, grounding the piece in west coast identity. This mural was designed to evoke intensity, pride, and wild independence. The bear’s stance and expression speak to raw strength, demanding attention. The rolling canvas enhances the feeling of motion, making the bear seem like it's roaring forward through space and time. Wild Territory is not just an appreciation of California’s iconic wildlife but a testament to resilience, legacy, and the fine line between civilization and nature.
