Overview

My understanding of expanding into space revolves around the idea of growth and progress. It involves developing and expanding our influence in the world around us. Through personal experiences, I have learned that growth does not occur within the confines of comfort. To succeed in our endeavors, we must step outside of our comfort zones, embrace novelty, learn from failures, and continuously evolve. For my project, I chose to explore the theme of dreams, inspired by Eleanor Roosevelt's quote, "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." Dreams, in general, can be perplexing and unconventional. They originate from our own imagination and subconscious, which can sometimes be bewildering. However, dreaming also involves envisioning a brighter future, igniting hope within us, and motivating us to work harder and smarter to bring those dreams to fruition.

In my final artwork, I aimed to intertwine the concepts of the future, destiny, beauty, and confusion. I decided to create a series of revised tarot cards, incorporating various artistic techniques and a harmonious color palette. I believe this was the most effective way to capture the essence of the future in my piece, as each card represents a distinct path and destiny. By merging analog and digital drawing techniques, as well as employing patterns and complementary colors, I crafted my own interpretation of tarot cards for the final outcome. The artwork on the back of the cards originates from a single piece that becomes visible when the cards are aligned perfectly. The diverse colors and shapes within this design evoke a sense of intrigue and enigma, which aligns with my concept of confusion. On the other hand, the artwork on the front of each card is connected to its respective title, further enhancing the overall theme.
