THE STORY

Roaring Flower is a striking celebration of strength, beauty, and duality. At its center, a regal woman crowned with vivid red blossoms embodies grace and resilience, while beneath her, a powerful tiger radiates courage and untamed spirit. Together, they form a powerful image of feminine strength fused with primal energy.

The delicate flowers contrast with the tiger’s piercing gaze, symbolizing the coexistence of softness and ferocity, vulnerability and power. This harmony of opposites reflects the inner balance of human nature, where beauty and strength do not contradict but amplify one another.

With its rich palette of reds and golds, Roaring Flower commands attention, inviting viewers to embrace the roar within themselves a reminder that true power can be both fierce and beautifully adorned.
