Riding the Tiger — Art Print

Description

骑虎难下. “When you ride a tiger, it is difficult to dismount.” A four-character saying for the moment a decision stops being reversible: the lease is signed, the company is registered, the thing is happening.

It is not about fear. It is about momentum — the point where stopping has become more dangerous than continuing.

Nianhua-inspired: the New Year woodblock tradition of bold outlines and saturated flat colour, with a tiger drawn to be ridden rather than admired.
