The Tower 24X36" Acrylic on Canvas Painting
A delivery fee will be added once the shipping destination is determined.
The Tower is about false heights. It’s gaining a place by deception or building a foundation from nothing more than straw and thinking that will hold you in place. It’s the moment when the foundation begins to crumble, knocking you from that tower, that place where you thought you had everything worked out. Below you however, all the materials you used were cheap, weak and inevitably going to collapse.
As I’ve spent a lot of time looking at this deck from a Buddhist perspective and as I began painting this oft dreaded card, I’ve tried to think about it differently. It could be said that it signifies a loss of ego. It’s letting go of all those words or objects that we use to convince ourselves we’re someone great and facing up to the fact that life is not a competition and no one is any better or worse than anyone else. We just are.
It can also be about dismantling the walls or barriers we put up thinking we can paint every relationship, every job, every experience with the same brush.
