The Hermit: On the Outside Looking In
Alexandra’s piece uses the hermit tarot card as an example of her perspective in life, and how it perpetuates a cycle of “comfort, unfulfillment, and fear.” Time alone facilitates comfort — and although joy can be found with or around others, it isn’t always so simple. She associates this tendency with avoidance and how it can affect interpersonal relationships. Ultimately, this piece is a deep dive into the perspective of the hermit — both where they start and end up, and what truly informs their experience.
