Visual Representation
Strength is represented by a figure who manipulates the jaws of a massive steel trap at her feet. A psychological drama is raised between the human and animalistic mind, and the figure uses her strength to overcome temptation and raw passion.
Symbolism
Wearing a white dress, the figure is pure of heart even in the act of engaging in this visceral conflict with the metal contraption. In historical Tarot imagery, the lemniscate that usually appears in Strength is now represented by the heavy chain that extends into the foreground of the landscape. The trap, replacing the traditional lion symbol, was constructed from reclaimed materials of steel, wood, and foam.
