Recommended by Emma (Marketing & Communications Manager): Obata has left some room for interpretation in this piece, and when I look at it I see an entire world within a tide pool, as if I'm looking towards the sky from the bed of the pool, and there's a bird flying above. The textures, liness, and movement within the piece all come together in a satisfying way.

Recommended by Nikki (Fine Print Photographer / Marketing and Digital Content Specialist):
Takeda’s depiction of the death card is filled with eyes wide open, including on the intense central figure with their hands gracefully crossed, staring straight back at the viewer. In tarot, drawing the death card isn’t always a bad thing. Death is a normal part of life and can mean a new beginning as well as an end to something. As the year winds closer to its own death, this etching is a reminder to be alert and conscious about what in our own lives needs to come to a close and what could use more of our energy.
