The lion has traditionally stood for power and leadership, but I thought of what that power would look like in the world today. This lion is constructed of metal, wiring, and machine parts instead of fur and muscle. It indicates how strength is changing.
The sunglasses give it personality and help it feel good about itself. It doesn't simply look like a robot; it seems to know what's going on around it. The elevated jeweled glove gives the appearance a bold and playful vibe, emphasizing that power can be creative and expressive, not just violent.
This art is about establishing a balance between the old and the modern for me. Technology is really important to us now, yet we still have instincts, pride, and a feeling of who we are. This lion is both an animal and a machine, and it is quite powerful.
