The Strength is the avatar of power, sustenance, and balance. A robed figure stands on top of a massive mythological mammal covered in plants, leaves, and plantains emerging from their horns. The Strength is the bond, the possibility, and the ecosystem that these figures create.
The Strength asks us to question how we wield power and who gets to define power. The Strength asks for discernment and balance in determining who do we deem as worthy of humanity, who is asserted as a god, and who is viewed as a monster.
