The Hanged Man of Damocles

This artwork was created as a synthesis of two meanings - the classical (tarot cards "The Hanged Man") and the phraseological unit "the Sword of Damocles."

The Hanged Man's card itself usually requires clarification in the form of another card, but this is a state of hopelessness and a dead end, in my interpretation. Often, each of the artists felt something similar: you seem to be moving sluggishly back and forth, but this movement is not forward, but somewhere in the place.

I strengthened the context with the Sword of Damocles because it is crucial for me to show that stupidity and hopelessness can disappear at any moment. After all, the inverted card of the hanged man most often indicates that a crisis moment has come in a person's life, and there is definitely an excellent way out of it.

This prospect may be far beyond your comfort zone, though.

After purchase, you will receive a few high resolution images and videos for printing.
