Redwood City is one of the most rapidly changing cities in all the U.S. Drastic changes in our landscapes are causing local species and alpha predators to have new hunting grounds in suburban areas.
While predators seem to be a threat as they come into our neighborhoods, urban development is having devastating effects on wildlife shrinking the original habitats and causing new migration habits.
The Last of Lions is to be a monumental sculpture built to last the test of time and dedicated to Redwood City’s natural history.
Last of Lions has a polygon shape to symbolise the digital era we are living in. The pose shows it's walking among us. We need to pass the urgency for humanity to protect nature before these majestic animals become just digital representations of themselves.
Mirrors multiply the Lions in a corral pattern where one side they’re facing each other running out of territory, in the other side they are seen vanishing into the corners.
Bars of uneven heights represent the un unwavering pattern of protection and extinction they face.
