The Hanged Man Tarot

A reinterpretation of the tarot’s twelfth card, The Hanged Man features a ballerina suspended mid-air—graceful, weightless, and utterly still. With one foot bound to a bare tree branch and the cosmos swirling behind her, she embodies the beauty of surrender and the strength found in letting go. Poised between stasis and motion, she invites a shift in perspective—offering insight through stillness.

This piece draws on the tarot archetype of The Hanged Man, a card that speaks to acceptance, pause, and seeing the world anew. Here, the figure of a ballerina replaces the traditional male character—highlighting both vulnerability and poise. Her contorted yet serene pose hints at sacrifice, control, and the transformative potential of suspension. Inspired by Symbolist aesthetics and a mystical atmosphere, this artwork merges myth, femininity, and the philosophy of waiting.

Perfect for those drawn to tarot, mysticism, and narrative art, this piece brings a moment of quiet tension to any space. Ideal for reading corners, creative spaces, or gallery walls dedicated to esoteric themes, The Hanged Man speaks to those who find beauty in complexity and resonance in symbolism.
