The role of The Hierophant, most commonly associated with education, knowledge and inspiration, is here revealed as a silent sideshow barker whose secret knowledge is perceived through experience rather than sound. The elaborate vestments of his office have been reduced to rags and his pillars of wisdom replaced with vessels of capitulation.
A shade amongst the shrouds, The Hierophant’s sacrifice is for his art. His existence is as an ephemeral altarpiece, activated upon the viewer’s utilization of the tools he/she has been given and released from this reality.
