| This is the fifth chapter in The Tiger’s
Tale, a six-part visual myth within The History of Rock & Roll. The series tells the story of a tiger (Europe) who steals a dragon (Africa) and buries it in a new world—only to be undone by the dragon’s buried song, which empowers the people to rise.
Here, a telescope points skyward, framed by celestial geometry and floral embellishment. The halftone mouth—symbol of the tale teller—appears embedded in the cosmic grid, bridging ancestral rhythm with technological inquiry. The people are no longer just listening—they are studying, decoding, remembering.
The composition juxtaposes scientific mapping with organic ornament, suggesting that the dragon’s song is not only spiritual but structural. It’s written in the stars, encoded in the soil, and now being traced by those who seek its power.
The Tiger’s Tale was meant to be paired with a companion series,
The Dragon’s Tale, which remains unrealized. Together, they would have told both sides of the myth: the theft and the resistance.
