the lovers

by Joanna Baumgartner

Graphic from the Tarot series. The female figure, who is the protagonist of the work, is depicted holding a heart with flowers growing out of it. She has an open head containing herself – her image is doubled. At the very end of the loop is the same heart that the heroine is holding in the foreground.

As the title itself assures us, the graphic is certainly about love. However, it is not clear whether this is romantic love, platonic love or perhaps love for oneself. What is known, however, is that the character cherishes this love deep within herself; it is something extremely important to her. This is evidenced by a very interesting artistic treatment reminiscent of the film Inception.
