This piece is about capturing the essence of a lions beauty, strength and ferocity but to different moments in a viewers experience. The image of the lion is only revealed at one particular moment. At all other times, the piece still captures the essence and beauty of a lion, but in forms that are either lost or abstracted. As a viewer moves around the piece, the moment of discovery occurs when the abstract forms align to reveal the lions form. This experience of discovery and revelation is the main premise behind the piece.
To me, lions represent the way I see my mother. She was recently diagnosed with and untreatable medical condition, and she has been facing this newly discovered information with such strength and optimism that an onlooker would never know, unless they looked closely and put together the pieces.
