Pride in the Quarter, June to August
Inspired by the idea of global unity, this lion serves as a living archive of shared experience. Through a multi-tonal patchwork of expressive brushstrokes, the design transforms the energy of the World Cup into a visual celebration of diversity. Each vibrant segment represents an individual story, woven together to form a singular and powerful presence – a reminder that strength is found in the richness of shared humanity.
e.g. about the local area (some famous landmark lions), World Cup stat, etc.
