“The World� Tarot Card inspiration (Completion / Achievement/ Fulfillment) My tarot card represents a sense of closure as well as achievement and accomplishment. It could represent a graduation, a marriage, the birth of a child (representing the end of a pregnancy), or the attainment of a long held dream or aspiration. You have finally accomplished your goal or purpose. Everything has come together, and you are in the right place, doing the right thing, achieving what you have envisioned, and feeling fulfilled and complete. In this sense, the World card also heralds new beginnings that naturally emerge out of the completion cycle. My poster will contain the idea of displaying this state of being in between time of the past, present and the whats to come through the imagery of roses that represent the rebirth and renewal. The beauty of the rose expresses promise, new beginnings, hope.
