Description
Upright: Escapism, disappointment, abandonment, withdrawal
Reversed: Hopelessness, aimless drifting, walking away
So here, the themes I wanted to highlight are the thoughts of abandonment, escapism, and in the reverse, hopelessness. So I chose a watery landscape with a figure in the water. She's walking further in, walking away from, supposedly the beach. She's escaping. Walking away. Turning her back on her dreams, which in this case, is perhaps her passion for art (The sketchbook).

Eight of Cups Tarot Card Meanings and Description
The Eight of Cups is a card of change and transition. The card evokes an immediate reaction of sadness and a sense of solitude. The young man in this card has turned his back on all he has accumulated or accomplished before. He disappears by night into a barren and difficult terrain with only a cloak on his back and a staff in hand. The character in the Eight of Cups has lived and experienced life’s joys and sorrows. His journey is undertaken because of a sense of restlessness and unhappiness experienced as the result of achieving all he has desired, yet finding those things to be less fulfilling than expected. This individual has chosen to forsake the familiar and the comfortable in the pursuit of higher goals. He is embarking upon the spiritual journey because he has not found deep satisfaction in the things of the world, the things with which he is familiar.
