Four of Cups

Keywords

Dissatisfaction, rejection, coldness, withdrawal, avoidance



Brief Description

A man leans against a tree, looking bored. He closes his eyes tightly, crosses his arms in front of his chest, and assumes a defensive posture. Three cups are lined up in front, symbolizing his past experiences. He stares at them silently, representing that he is trapped in the past and cannot extricate himself. A cup extending from the clouds symbolizes a new opportunity. However, this man, who is passively withdrawing, easily rejects it. For him, life seems to hold no interest at all. He shows complete coldness and indifference towards everything.
