This gallery is based thematically on the Tarot card The Eight of Swords. This card traditionally shows a bound woman surrounded by swords, and evokes a sense of physical or psychological claustrophobia, of being trapped, bound by a disability. As the imaged in this set suggest, however, this card also foresees a time of healing, convalescence, and regrouping. With this in mind, the viewer will better understand the apparent obsession with figures in wheelchairs and blood transfusions. Inspired by Early Renaissance paintings of Saints and Martyrs, the imagery is both cathartic and apotropaic.
