Shadow queen (The Game)

The artwork is part of a series called “The Game,” based on classic playing cards, with each card embodying a different animal. The series explores the idea that we are born into a predetermined natural order, carrying inherent strengths, limitations, and potential. From this starting point, we are cast into the arena of life’s game. The Queen card, portrayed as a panther, is quiet, powerful, and decisive. Her strength is expressed through precise movement and complete command of her surroundings. She evokes awe and fear simultaneously, breathtaking, crowned by the environment itself. It is a form of dominance that does not seek to be seen, yet is felt in every moment. She rules from the shadows
