Brief 47: The Wheel of Fortune


Brief 47: The Wheel of Fortune
Deadline: Monday, 2 April 2012
Image created by: Jordan Clarke

The Wheel of Fortune, or Rota Fortunae, is a concept in medieval and ancient philosophy referring to the capricious nature of Fate. This wheel belongs to the goddess Fortuna. In the modern days, the Wheel of Fortune is also a game on television and at casinos. One concept, different ways of interpretations. We're also inspired by Kay Starr's music. What's your take on the brief?
