The Fool

  • The goal of this project was to create a self portrait using a playing card format. I decided to choose "The Fool" From a tarot card deck, becuase its normal meaning is "the embrace of new beginnings, the expansion of one's horizons, and the willingness to take risks guided by intuition" Which I can relate to. The upside-down meaning is actually the main reason I chose this card. It is about how sometimes I can second guess myself, and often have unrealistic expectations about the future.

  • Creativity means turning imagination into action. It's problem-solving in an imaginative way, a way you can find new angles and connections. It's what makes things interesting and new, pushing boundaries to create moving pieces that are moving.
