Five of Swords navigates the fragile intersection between conflict and vulnerability. Drawing on the Tarot’s depiction of a bittersweet win—where the cost of victory overshadows the prize—it juxtaposes pop-culture battles (from Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball) with intimate moments of a queer couple. Together, the piece becomes a meditation on whether peace after conflict truly delivers closure—or leaves us more exposed.
