Marble lions are commonly used as guardians of power, valiently guarding spaces of power, such as Courthouses, National Palaces and Parks and sit beside kings and queens to protect their thrones. This symbol, commonly found in public space is now casted in white chocolate, offering a series of new meanings to it. This is the first of a series of pieces that seek to reflect on how public spaces are marked by symbols of power and domination, in an attempt to reappropriate and resignify them.
