Descrizione: Two hands press in prayer leading to an elongated bruised figure. The High Priestess represents secret knowledge, hidden wisdom. She represents the bruising of the Divine Feminine. What she asks is to stop talking long enough to listen. The praying hands, the bird on her shoulder, the bruises — everything is a message. The work is in getting quiet enough to notice.

Two hands press together in prayer, rising out of an elongated, bruised-orange body whose face disappears in dark clouds. A line of red text runs down the throat, an ancient language. A black bird watches from the side, beak open, under a caged red sun. Gold panels carry faint figures from an older script. Stamped flowers repeat across the teal ground. In the corner, on word: listen.
