你好! (Nǐ hǎo!) (Hello!) (Ciao!)



When the evil person raises their knife, a shiny knife of judgement also hangs above their head.
rough translation from the script written by: Shui Qian Mo & Wang Xiong Cheng - 2016


This particular sentence made me think about my interpretation of the 8th card of the Major Arcana, Justice.
Art № 52 ▲

Card from the Series of the
Major Arcana - Drapes of Cynosure
n8 -Justice
Pencil on A3 Paper
2014


Just finished with a Chinese fantasy series.

This special human being, has healing power running through his veins but he is righteously reluctant to meddle with human life. Betrayed, now awaken from an induced slumber, he searches for the perpetrator.

The emphasis is on glamorized frivolousness and on not so positive aspect of human nature and society.
An unhealthy attachment to life fueled by greed, the treatment of the very breath and that of others as objects.

The fear of seeing a loved one dying it's as strong as the fear of eternal life on Earth.
Death it's seen as a process one can prepare too but ultimately, it's he who's left behind that suffers the most.

Right to the end, the special being takes no drastic measure towards the perpetrator, he just decides to leave it to nature to close its circle.
Although during the series the special being is referred to as "the monster", he truly is no match for the perpetrator, as for evil.

I like the abstractness of this artwork, the eyes that are made of scales and the sticking tongue that is made of plank. They make very interesting and attractive drawing.
