Ember in the Dark

2025

Beneath the weight of shadow, a quiet fire burns. The leopard rests upon aged wood, its golden coat illuminated by the last whisper of light — a living ember against the dusk. Every muscle speaks of calm authority, every glance a reminder that stillness can hold more power than motion.

The contrast between light and dark tells a story older than words — of predator and peace, of beauty born from vigilance. The texture of the wood beneath it echoes the rhythm of its spots, nature mirroring itself in strength and pattern. This is not the moment before the hunt, nor after — it is the sacred interval between instinct and repose.
