Painted as a pairing with (and actually before) ‘0 The Fool’, ‘XXI The World.’ Like its partner, ‘XXI The World’ is a re-interpretation of the last card in a Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot Deck. The first iteration I made of the card was mid-2019, in the middle of a social movement in Hong Kong that I’m sure has changed much of our perspectives on what happiness is. Coupled with the waves of the global pandemic, I used this exhibition opportunity at Alisan Fine Arts to create a The World that reflects what a perfect world looks to me now.
