Lion's Breath Sculptures
"Lion's Breath" by Ferdi B Dick explores the theme of emotional release and healing. The inspiration behind the sculpture comes from the artist's grandfather's love for lions and fond memories of making powerful growls with him. The interesting thing about a lion when it growls is it sticks its tongue out and this reminds me of the posture in yoga called lion's breath.
The sculpture focuses on this idea of lion's breath where the lion is depicted in the act of growling, with its tongue sticking out to release built-up emotions, tension, and pressure, reminiscent of the yoga posture's intention.
