Jeong.

In his second month as a ranger, on a routine patrol through the north zone of the forest, Jeong found something that had no business being on a wildlife trail: a snare set by people crossing the border. He didn't shout or break anything. He removed it, noted where it was, and filed a report, and that same week he started turning over how to better cover those corners. That day didn't change his face, but it changed his work. Since then, he's one of those who show up exactly where they're needed.

The frame leaves it ready to hang with no extra steps: a leopard facing forward, with crisp rosettes and light-colored eyes, against the clean background. I created it this way, with nothing around it: up close, he holds your gaze better than almost anyone. In his story, that patrol gave rise to his method—drawing new lines on the map until the team adopted them—and also something older: as a child, a grandmother taught him to follow a trail in the snow without ever seeing the animal. There's more about him in his biography.
