She has an exceptional maternal instinct. Watching for many hours, I realized that despite her nonchalant air, no small detail escapes her. She is the one who brings nourishing abundance to the clan and its cubs. She takes on her fair share, her right place, her right role within the clan. However, they are each different and unique. She embodies the sacred feminine spirit, which is equal in dignity to his sacred masculine spirit. The symbolism of the lioness is just as important as that of the lion.
They are greatly attentive in educating the lion cubs who only think of playing with each other.
The lionesses walk gracefully in the savannah. We do not disturb the king of the savannah for just any small reason.Īfter all these hours spent observing groups of lions, I have found that lionesses and lion cubs are my favorite. I also felt the deep respect of the lion cubs who are cautious in asking for advice from a male. I truly felt the significant role patriarch has in the education of the younger generation. I have had the good fortune to observe large males watching and educating young lion cubs. The lion is the symbol of power, domination, pride, wisdom and alertness. It seems that this contemplative attitude of scanning the horizon is a completely normal position for the so-called monarch of the animal kingdom. This was much easier to accomplish in person than I believed it would be when preparing for my trip. For this collection, I wanted to photograph lions that evoked the sphinx. The sphinx’ gaze constantly scans the point of the horizon, where the sun rises. Undoubtedly, the most mythical symbol is the sphinx, which is a lion with a human face. He is represented by a lion on whose head the sun rests. For example, in Egypt, the lion is the symbol of vigilance and Ra, the sun god. The symbolism of the lion is very strong whether it is depicted in religions, cartoons or novels. I wanted to reveal their power, majesty, and strength. My initial project was to shoot lions walking proudly in the savannah in search of food. To create this collection of black and white animal photographs, I traveled to Kenya. For this collection of fine art prints in my theme « Shades of blacks and whites« , I wanted to explore the majesty, the power, and the strength of an animal that the sight of which is familiar with everyone.
