When we try to depict anything through art it seems like we pick certain traits or feelings and bring them out a little more than they might really exist. When someone has lion statues on their lawn, or when someone picks a lion as their national image, it brings out something in the lion that they identify with. No matter that the lion does or does not have that quality.
I'm fascinated by the ideas behind certain beasts. That the male lion is King of the Jungle amuses me because of what we've learned about their behaviors in our present sciences.
Anyway, the origin of the lion statue pics is a trip I took to Venice, where their symbol is the Lion of St Mark's. You can find it in unusual places. I loved it, and took so many pictures of lions. That started an entire discussion in my head about why I was taking pictures of art, which seems unusual when you think about it, and it just kept going. The trip ended up bringing out some really relevant thoughts about art and life and such. So I kept thinking about statues of lions.
