Prison medical ward from the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA). Black & white variant of this image digitally manipulated with an out of focus lion at the center of the frame, and hence the inspiration behind the title. Starting with the obvious compositional reference, yet also alluding to dark abstract themes like fear, insanity, horror, and death. Special thanks to talented artist Brin Kennedy Weins for isolating the lion as part of a personal commission, and granting me permission to use it in digital manipulations for sale.
