The TOWER

69.5 x 54.5 cm, drawn on an antique map, handmade paper, mixed media, natural pigments, acrylic & watercolor, refined with 24-karat gold, 2025

Rebirth, Sudden Insight, Liberation, Upheaval

In the background, a historical map of the Prince-Bishopric of Würzburg depicts established structures and long-standing orders. At the center, a powerful hammer strikes a colorful tower engulfed in flames – a symbol of the collapse of old certainties and the awakening of new truths.

Lightning, fiery lines, and scattered symbols enhance the dynamism of transformation. The rune Thurisaz, Mars, and the signs Aries and Scorpio represent protection, strength, destruction, and new beginnings. The number 16 signifies insight, rebirth, and liberation from illusions.

This card reminds us that crises do not only bring chaos, but also enable transformation: gaining clarity, letting go of the old, and creating space for the new.
