The Shapeshifting Tarot
🎨A more in-depth note from the artist:
These paintings, drawings, and mixed-media pieces were part of a two-year art journey, during which I have grown as an artist and experimented with many different techniques. This led me to the idea of the Shapeshifting Tarot, a deck whose images contain a wide variety of art styles and references to many world mythologies and spiritual ideas.
An interactive object such as a Tarot deck is my way of communicating the experience of psychological identification with archetypes. Images filled with deep unconscious symbols can trigger certain reactions about our own position in life. The inherent randomness we are subject to in a Tarot reading is linked to the way I see art: as a mysterious and intuitive process that often ends up being ripe with unforeseen meaning.
To me, this relates to the way we are built as humans, out of a multitude of beings: the microorganisms in our gut, the experiences of our past, the social constructions of our time. Through this project, I hope to add something new to the conversation, continually transforming the images that can get stuck in dogmatic tradition while bringing back and honoring old myths and symbols that still resonate today.
