This is Eight is a reclamation through a body of pictures and poetry centered on memory and voice.
Each piece starts with a picture. The poem that follows isn’t explaining the imagery–it lives in it.
Some moments are imagined. Some are remembered.
All are told from within Eight’s perspective.
How the work lives here
This space holds finished work: images paired with poems.
This place carries art in progress because it needs to breathe but still wants a home.
They are meant to be encountered, not interpreted correctly. There is no required order. There is no lesson to extract. This is Eight Tarot does follow a traditional Tarot order and was created in that manner as a journey to eudaemonia; however, you are free to roam in that space any way that you desire.
Some of the art is quiet. Some is confrontational. All are allowed to exist exactly how they do.
You can interact, look, stay, or step away at any point.
About Eight
Eight isn’t a character. She’s not a symbol needing decoding. Eight is a vantage point.
Eight is the age when memory sharpens, rules appear, and the world begins to divide into what is seen…and what is hidden.
This work gives Eight a voice she wasn’t allowed to have but is given space to share now–not to resolve the past, but to honestly speak to it.
A note on care and boundaries
This is Eight isn’t a guide, a workbook, or a support group. Nothing here is asking you to heal, fix, forgive, or explain.
Other offerings may eventually grow from this work, but this space remains a home for image and words as they are.
Nothing here replaces therapy, professional care, nor is it intended to.
If something resonates or feels familiar to you, you may take it.
If something doesn’t, it’s okay to leave it behind.
If you’re here
You don’t need to understand it all. You don’t need to try to “get it.” You don’t need to agree with Eight or what This is Eight is.
You’re just welcome to take a look.
