Description
Tarot Card- The Hanged Man.The underlying principle which the Hanged Man represents, or the path that it outlines is that man has the freedom and mobility to either stay in this uncomfortable, chaotic position else free himself. This reinterpretation reflects this aptly as well, only in a new perspective in relation to Christianity, illustrating the monkey as the condemned crucifix, that society today can free themselves from the blindness of their own Christian persuasion which they condemn their own selves to.
The Hanged Man is also often depicted as smiling or indifferent to pain, as he is not aware of his inner chaos. This is not quite as apparent as the bottom jaw has been removed, reflecting the concept of censorship imposed on many artists.
