Leopard Seal

The leopard symbolizes power and authority, but what I admire most is how rarely it needs to prove either. Rather than depicting this leopard in pursuit or in battle, I chose to portray her at rest. She is completely at ease, a reminder that the greatest power is often the power that never needs to be exercised. There is a confidence that comes from simply knowing who you are. It does not seek permission. It is content to observe, to wait, and to enjoy the moment. May this seal serve as a reminder that true authority is not found in force, but in confidence in ones power.
