The drawing proceeds in the same sense, conveying this ambience somewhat reframing part of the Tarot’s arcana, among which I place the idea of the hanged man as a visual element composing the narrative of one who creates. Moreover, at the same time he creates, the creation takes its toll on him leaving him subject to a deed whose end he does not know, still he engages in it as if in an act of humbleness, of resignation, before his creation. An element that, at the same time, uses his own hands to create and may have his own legs hang himself.
