Dunning-Kruger Effect - Mount Stupid

Created in 2024 for a senior portfolio class. For the Dunning-Kruger effect, I was struck by the comedy of how many professionals referred to getting over Dunning-Kruger as a fall off of mount stupid. This idea reminded me of and inspired me to make a piece based off of the Fool card in the Major Arcana of the Tarot card deck.

During this assignment, I was also tasked with documenting my creative process. See progress work below.
