Inverted Man

Watercolor drawing

May 2023 My work primarily expresses the author's internal struggle and anxiety about his family's future. The fear and nervousness of becoming a first-time father lead him to escape reality, seeking solace in the digital world to distract himself from existential anxiety. This situation, filled with uncertainty, connects to tarot cards. I find that immersing oneself in the occult and engaging in the virtual world are quite similar.

The author's state in the text aligns well with the 'Inverted Man' tarot card, but I took a different approach. Instead of depicting the typical calm 'Inverted Man,' I portrayed the author struggling, wrapped in spider silk, and hanging upside down from a 'tree' made of converging virtual webs.

The 'tree' splits the image into two parts to contrast reality and the virtual world, with the family divided into three sections. I used different colors for the heads of the two men to reflect their states: purple for the man's head to symbolize struggle and fear, and pink for the woman's head to represent motherhood, family, and love. The top half of the image represents the virtual world, with a blue tree, while the bottom half represents reality, retaining its original colors.
