MYSTERY TAROT CARDS

Myths, religions, Isekai fantasies, the Cthulhu Mythos, the occult... Taking inspirations from diverse origins,

this Rider-Waite deck is centered around the idea of "controlled madness" and distinguished by its antique look and solemn mystique.

With light and shadow being central motifs, all illustrations are drawn in black and white with fine point pen.

The extensive use of lines for shading and the artist's attention to details establish a sense of order. The restricted palette creates depth and subtlety.

The message behind the deck is that to overcome our deepest fears and negativities, we must first learn to own them. "It is often the people who have

the courage to explore the darkness that bring the light for others to follow," said the author. "I hope that by introducing this deck,

I can share with you the courage to face darkness and become the light itself."

The expression “laying one’s cards on the table” has always intrigued me. For one, the mystery and spirituality that tied to the art of card reading/card tricks can be enticing. On the other hand, the real life challenge of “laying one’s card on the table” for others to peruse and interpret can be terrifying yet deeply needed. 

To give the expression a new understanding, this project aims to create an experience using tarot deck to facilitate personal storytelling.

A customizable tarot experience, in hope of creating a method for people to share and connect through their narrative turning the act of

laying cards into a powerful means of personal connection and exchange.
