Ten of Cups

Artist: Lindsey Yang

Watching the sunrise with the people I care about brings me harmony and peace. I, therefore, made an illustration that captures the main ideas of the Ten of Cups, including its completion, harmony, and a feeling of joy shared by all. The two figures standing next to each other reflect the welcoming and inclusive atmosphere of St. Catherine University by evoking a sense of community and connection. In keeping with the university's ideals, the rose window, interwoven as the rising sun, represents the light of knowledge, hope, and unity. The rainbow-colored cup arc symbolizes inclusivity and diversity while reinforcing the Ten of Cups' link with joy and emotional prosperity. Every unique yet cohesive cup symbolizes different identities and experiences honored in the St. Kate's community. They are joined by the flowing ribbon that reads Ten Of Cups, which alludes to the connections made within the university. Gold and purple, hues closely associated with St. Kate's, are delicately interwoven throughout the picture. While the golden tones accentuate warmth, optimism, and enlightenment, the purples infuse a sense of tradition, wisdom, and spirituality. A scene of communal well-being is depicted in the composition, signifying how the institution fosters both individual and group fulfillment.
