The Monk and a Hungry Tiger
A moment of prayer in a surreal encounter
A man dressed in white sits in quiet prayer among flowering hills. Behind him, a large black tiger stands still, watching — not pouncing, just waiting. In the distance, a stone Buddha looks on, unmoved. The tiger seems to hesitate, as if thinking, “I’ll skip the menu today.”
This work explores an imagined Buddhist landscape from a Christian perspective. The tiger, though powerful, pauses out of respect — or perhaps curiosity. The result is a quiet tension filled with dry humor, faith, and unexpected peace.
Created using a combination of AI generation and hand-drawn refinement, this piece is part of an ongoing exploration of cultural and spiritual juxtapositions.
Created in Singapore. Open to collaborations across editorial, cultural, and art-based projects.
