    The Fool's Journey
    The Fool’s Journey illuminates my journey inward through the archetypal imagery of tarot cards. The Fool embarks into an uncharted adulthood with no clothes, only roller blades—encountering crashes, gifts, and philosophical acquisitions from the characters of the tarot’s major arcana along the way. The back and forth process of elaborate sets, paper collaging, rephotographing and remixing props suggests the nonlinear matrix of change throughout each encounter. Combining fantastical sets and dress-up costumes with cluttered rooms peeking behind pinned up background sheets, the work reveals magic in the act of play: something that is available in everyday life—around the corner, or with the right lens—to whomever is willing to seek it.
