Five of Wands 

Artist: Audrey DeGeest

The Five of Wands represent conflict and competition. The traditional representation of this card is five figures in an active battle using the wands as their weapons. This is the card that differed the most from traditional depictions. I did not like the archaic representation of five people fighting with wands to show the conflicted nature of the card. It feels to me that there isn't much left to the imagination and it is more difficult to relate to as the reader. By taking the figures out of the image and focusing on the wands themselves and the gridlock position they are in I feel that the struggle and conflict of the card is shown while leaving more up to the interpretation of the reader.
