Cardsharp (Rou Garou)

“Cardsharp (Rou Garou)” depicts the Métis Rou Garou (a willing shapeshifter often taking the form of a black wolf). This piece highlights the character’s duality, embodying both the cautionary tale of a monster and the cunning of a trickster hero. Rou Garou’s ambiguous nature, portrayed here as a “Vegas Cowboy,” blends elements of wildness with a love for cards and gambling, inviting viewers to ponder the spectrum of interpretations Rou Garou evokes.
