This image was created off of a reflection of sun on a wall. I
took a picture of the reflection of the sunlight and then made this artwork out of the reflection, which fits perfectly with
the title of "Sekhmet" after looking up some information on "Sekhmet" here is what I found out (taken from wikipedia):
In Egyptian mythology, Sekhmet was originally the warrior goddess as well as goddess
of healing for Upper Egypt. She is depicted as a lioness (depicted in the center), the fiercest hunter known to the
Egyptians
Sekhmet also is a solar deity,sometimes called the daughter of the sun god Ra and often associated with the goddesses Hathor and Bast (Which is interesting that
both the images of Sekhmet and Bast came from the same solar reflection). She bears the solar disk and the Uraeus which associates
her with Wadjet and royalty.
In ancient Egypt, the bee was an insignia of kingship associated particularly with
Lower Egypt. (found at the bottom of the mouth of the lioness) The bee and the hive have long been symbols of industry
and regeneration, wisdom and obedience, with a place in Egyptian, Roman and Christian symbolism.
