This large-scale illustration explores the tension between strength and vulnerability. A crocodile — often seen as a symbol of danger — is surrounded by butterflies, suggesting an unexpected moment of softness. The layered geometric background adds rhythm and movement, contrasting with the stillness of the scene.

Hand-painted using acrylics, the piece combines bold colour, intricate linework, and stylised patterning — a reflection of my ongoing interest in balance, duality, and narrative through shape.
