A fine art print of the original ballpoint pen illustration inspired by Katelynn McCorquodale’s interpretation of the 8 of Swords tarot card. This is a piece about finding love for myself in one of the darkest chapters of my life. A time where I faced my fears and shadow behavior in order to experience purification & soul renewal. During the process of making this piece, I finally began to learn acceptance and forgiveness for myself. By recognizing my own fracture points and areas of wounding, I was able to give those parts of myself the love I so desperately needed. This is a piece about how exiling or neglecting ourselves and our pain can lead to self-destruction or entrapment if we are not careful. Also an ode to my love for the powerful messages and guidance found in the tarot, this piece was a revisualization of a card that spoke to me many times to face my own self-imposed limitations. On my journey towards cultivating more love for myself and my expressive voice, encountering my inner self critic has been an especially challenging aspect of myself to nurture.
