Emergence of the (Green) Wise

I've always been inspired by tarot cards, myths and legends, and how they might be used for less mystical, and more symbolic, realist (or naturalist) meaning.

This image contains a juxtaposition of symbols relating to an idea about the truth of Nature's power; how we must all confront and accept its inner and outer domination of us. This confrontation might be better served with a good understanding and acceptance of its (evolutionary) force, and our interconnection with Nature. Such wisdom may then be taken back into the more mental, industrial, collaborative world.

When this occurs it is the Emergence of the Wise, in terms of heralding a greener awareness or even, a cultural renaissance - a next revolution - now needed more than ever.

This forms part of a 'Greenwise' series (2006), finally animated and minted here 2022. (Some elements also form part of Fountellion, a nature game concept.) See also: crypto-art version 'The Sword of Crypto', representing the arrival of technological truth, after the Bitcoin blockchain, and in tribute to the wise investors who recognise(d) this.

Medium: Pencil and digital, mixed with nature photographs / textures.
