They sit facing each other, yet nothing about them suggests rivalry. The symmetry is too exact, the posture too calm: what confronts the lion is not another presence, but a reflection of its own nature. In their paired stillness lies a quiet inquiry: What does strength look like when it meets itself?
The sculptor carves the mane in flowing ridges, almost like a ripple around a center of composed power. And because both lions mirror one another so precisely: the arc of the brow, the gentle downward gaze, the viewer begins to sense that the encounter is inward rather than outward. They are guardians not of territory, but of introspection.
Placed together, they transform from decorative forms into a small meditation on identity: that every force, even one as absolute as a lion, eventually turns its attention toward the self. The material, cool, white marble, reinforces this thought. It softens the ferocity, making the lions contemplative rather than commanding, more oracle than predator.
A pair, yes. But also, a loop. A reminder that the strongest beings are not only those who face the world, but those who dare to face their own reflection.
