Prompt

Original astonishing physical paper-sculpture photograph. ONE regal lion made entirely from layered hand-cut warm ivory paper sits centered against a deep midnight-teal seamless backdrop. Its enormous circular mane unfolds in intricately curled saffron, terracotta and copper paper petals, radiating like a sculptural sun. Anatomically coherent feline face and two front paws, gently dignified gaze, exquisitely cut paper whiskers and subtle visible fiber edges. Low gallery-museum light casts rhythmic delicate shadows between layers. Bold simple silhouette reads immediately at small size; exquisite material detail rewards close inspection. Symmetrical but alive, sophisticated editorial art direction, generous negative space.
