About this artwork

A lion drawn in lines of orange stands against the deep calm of blue and purple — not roaring, but remembering. Around it, dreamlike creatures take shape: a twin-headed bird, a being whose tail is woven from DNA and ends in the ancient face of a creature half-extinct, half-imagined.

This work speaks of forgotten power — of instincts silenced by memory, and of evolution as an act of imagination. Every line vibrates between myth and mutation, as if… Alkhoory’s hand is tracing the stories that time itself left unfinished. The lion’s stare to the left suggests not dominance, but longing — for a past that no longer exists, and for a self that once did.
