Description

Playing The Fool - Take 4 by Helena Tiainen, is an ink drawing on paper, sold unframed and unmatted. In reality this drawing works in any of the four directions, so, you get four drawings in one. I keep on returning to the theme of the fool. So much in life is outside of our personal control, no matter how powerful we might be. This is not a lesson that is easy for the ego to swallow, but sooner or later all of us need to learn that we are here to play parts in the bigger picture and sometimes these parts are not what our egos wished for us. Everybody plays the fool, sometimes. Nobody gets through life without wearing this hat at some point. And like some wise person said: Make the best out of the hand you were dealt. Archetypes are here to guide us and just like the Roman and Greek gods and goddesses were very much created in the image of human strengths and ideals and weaknesses projected as super powers, every archetype has inner wisdom to offer. So, cherish The Fool, but remember that in its highest state, The Fool is also The Sage. It takes strength and wisdom to realize that you do not know what you don't know. #fool, #clown, #jester
