The Lens (Reversed)

Surveillance * Exposure * Privacy

The truth bomb in our surveillance soaked world. The lens speaks to the reality of living in constant view, whether it is the literal lens of the camera, the ears in your cell phones , the gaze of society, or the internalized pressures of always being on. For may of us who don’t fit the mold the spotlight is not often a choice, it is scrutiny. Who is behind these cameras? Whose story is being told and being shared without consent? This card is a reminder to choose what you reveal and what you choose to protect.

Reversed

The lens reveals hypervigilance, paranoia or the feeling of being exposed without consent. Maybe you are haunted by the the idea of being watched, judged or misunderstood. Maybe you are trapped in self surveillance, editing your life to look good to others? This card calls for pause: step out of the frame and back into your power. Visibility without agency is trap. but awareness is your liberation.

In a world drowning in irrelevant information, ego and fantasy your power sits in your clarity.
