Death.


I wanted a birch tree. In Tree Ogham, Birch (Beithe) symbolises new beginnings. It fit, from where I stood. Sat. Saw.

The Death card is about change.

But Fredericton seems to have an anti-birch sentiment. At least, so far as I can tell. I think we captured the liminality in other ways: the sunset, the widow's weeds, the ashes.

Or maybe you can't see any of that. Is this how Peter Jackson felt when he called for detail the cameras would never see? Eh, maybe. His budget was bigger.

She is Death. No, you can't see the capture for the card itself or the gallery show. You'll have to go to the latter in the spring like everyone else.
