Leo's Lair
‘‘Leo’s Lion’ is an art piece that combines flowers photographed by me in Singapore. My objective was to assemble a flower montage where the photographs have a location authenticity. In the art piece, Singapore, the City of Lions, is represented by the outline of a stylized lion’s head. Numerous flowers fill segments of the lion’s head. A single flower near the bottom right seems to be the source of ripples washing on the city. I use more than 50 different species of flowers in the art piece.
I took all the photographs using an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Using Affinity Photo for editing, I resized each photograph to promote effective image segmentation, segmented each photograph to isolate the portrayed flower, exported the resulting photograph on a transparent background, and then combined each of the roughly 50 photographs in Leo’s Lion.
I have chosen to print the art using a substrate of Dibond, which is an aluminum composite material. The process overlays the Dibond with a silver halide print that supports 610 dpi resolution. A satin laminate covers the print for protection, and the entire assembly is placed in a slim white float frame. I have chosen a mid-gloss finish to accentuate the visual impact.
