The lion has been revered across many cultures as a divine messenger or sacred beast. In Buddhism, it is worshipped as a guardian deity and a symbol of spiritual protection.
In this artwork, the lion is depicted as a divine guardian entrusted with the protection of peace and everyday life, even as the world undergoes constant change.
Just as the Sydney Opera House stands as a symbol of Australia, I envisioned the lion safeguarding it—unchanging and enduring—against the tides of time and uncertainty.
