Lion

The Trophy Series explores the complex relationship between beauty, power, and possession. Each piece features a hand-drawn charcoal portrait of an iconic African animal, touched with gold leaf — a visual metaphor for how we assign value to the natural world while simultaneously destroying it.

This lion print exudes quiet strength and vulnerability. Its gaze is powerful, regal, and human — a haunting echo of dignity under threat. The gold is not celebratory, but cautionary — a glint of status, pain, and legacy.
