Top part of the two paper “XVI – The wall”.

Some years ago I started drawing a tarots decks, witch I’ve not finished yet.

One of my favorite card I drawn for it was my version of the 16th arcane: the tower. The tower is inspired by the myth of the fall of Babel’s tower, so the protagonist is the thunder that destroys the tower. It is a card of failing and ruin.

I don’t like that much, this is why I changed the tower to the wall. It’s inspired by the fall of Berlin’s wall, and the thunder is replaced by people.

So, it became a good card to me, where unity and friendship wins over conflicts. Where life wins over nonsense.
