This piece leans heavily into themes of strength and direction, using the natural flow of the forearm to guide the composition. The lion’s face sits strong and centered, while the arrow cuts cleanly through, adding structure and movement. Soft black and gray shading keeps everything grounded, while subtle red accents bring just enough life without overwhelming the design. The roman numerals across the top help frame the piece and add a personal touch. It feels bold, intentional, and controlled.
