In this quietly powerful piece, a lion - symbol of strength, sovereignty, and stillness — becomes the resting ground for a curious pīwakawaka, the New Zealand fantail. Together, they embody the kind of connection that defies logic but makes perfect sense to the soul.
Where We Met explores the tension and trust between two beings who come from different worlds - one bold and grounded, the other quick and light. It’s about what happens when we pause long enough to be seen. When we soften the instinct to retreat. When we make space for someone wholly “other” to land.
This work invites us to consider that true belonging often starts in the most unexpected places. That connection - whether human or wild - isn’t always about sameness, but about presence.
