Seventy eight artists from around the world gathered together on Facebook to create a Tarot deck.... which we called 78Tarot. We were each assigned one card, and had total freedom to interpret the theme in our own style. My card, &ldquo Five of Pentacles&rdquo , represents a seemingly insurmountable hardship, loss, or burden, that a person is facing. In this case, she has unknowingly veered from the path in a snowy woods, and stepped out onto an icy river. Struggling to keep her balance on the slippery rocks, she vainly tries to cross the deep water, failing to see the bridge and the lamp post marking the safest way behind her.
