Description:
Aslan is a monumental lion sculpture that embodies strength, nobility, and movement. Each element is individually cut and shaped by hand, then assembled from within to form a unified structure. The visible traces of hammering and welding celebrate the process itself, transforming raw metal into a living presence.

Rather than concealing the making, the work reveals it — each mark becomes part of the narrative. The sculpture stands as a powerful synthesis of material, time, and human effort, where fire and iron converge into a symbol of enduring force and dignity.
