Griffin (2025)

The “Griffin,” is a mythological mixed creature with the upper body of an eagle and the lower body of a lion. It is featured in many cultures, from the Middle East, to Asia and Greece, where griffins were said to have guarded the gods’ gold. Griffins symbolize power, and is associated with the god, Apollo.

With each step, the wind blows,

With each step a flower blooms."
