COGNITIVE DISSONANCE... I'm not an expert on such topics, but I think it's a matter of cognitive dissonance. There's a lot of horror here, but it's not presented as horror. There's no evil here. Look at the dissonance: the childlike innocence and the symbols of evil and death, but they're woven into the ornamentation as elements of existence. Moreover, the childlike face also expresses non-childlike wisdom. Cover the nose line with your palm, and you'll see the face of an adult goddess. This is what lies beneath the surface. I wouldn't try to put an owl on a globe by taking apart a girl's bangles and beads. But the white lion - In Buddhist tradition, the white lion is a symbol of fearlessness in the transmission of the Dharma teachings. Its presence next to the "frightening" figure shows that true strength lies in accepting all aspects of reality.
A close-up highly detailed portrait of a young girl and a white lion in a surrealistic style. The girl's face, with light-brown hair, freckled skin, and an intense green eye, is positioned on the left side, slightly angled to the right. Her facial features are prominently visible, including her straight nose and full lips. Her left ear is adorned with a delicate ear cuff that curves gracefully upwards, featuring a series of small, shiny beads or diamonds. A small, delicate earring with a heart-shaped design hangs from this ear cuff, connected by a fine chain. On the left side of the image, intricate, gilded baroque ornaments, possibly part of a larger decorative element or a headpiece, frame the girl's face. These ornaments are characterized by ornate patterns in dark gold, with some elements featuring intricate designs in bronze and silver. A pendant with a round, flat jewel at its center hangs from the ornate background. Around the girl's left ear, a dark, abstract shape resembling black smoke or thorny vines adds a dramatic and somewhat mysterious touch, extending from the ornate background towards the girl’s hair. The right side of the image features the face of a majestic white lion.
