The story

On its own, my first Hashmask that I later named Visionary Lion, struck me as the picture of a young, entrepreneurial, forward-thinking man, empowered by the quiet around him. I was thrilled to have a Hashmask that represented that spirit.

Hours later I decided to take another look at Hashmasks for sale, and my second lion—Stifled Lion—screamed at me of noise, and even oppression. How could that Lion accomplish anything? I positioned him next to Visionary Lion and thought the contrast between them told a story that would resonate in today’s world that can be so full of noise.

The next day I noticed Harmonious Lion, which seemed to me a different path one could take—a full path, but full of a positive relationship with one’s surroundings, not an adversarial one. Once I saw the story I could tell with all three lions, I decided I had to make it a reality.
