A newly created oracle deck contains fifty richly illustrated cards that portray a wide range of emotions through distinctive visual metaphors drawn from flora and fauna. The monochromatic, surreal images present curious pairings, including twin turtles with eyes nested in their shells, a bird speared by a spindly tree, and a lily pad bursting from an open alligator jaw. Each card is built through layered pencil work, beginning with rough sketches, form research, composition refinement, and gradual development until the drawing feels complete. The deck is intended as an emotional ecosystem for witnessing feelings and meeting the inner self, not for fixing oneself. Cards can be used alone or alongside tarot for reflection.
"Fifty cards comprise the richly illustrated oracle deck, which delves into a vast emotional terrain through the artist's distinctive visual metaphors of flora and fauna. Monochromatic in palette and surreal in subject matter, the individual works portray a variety of curious pairings from twin turtles with eyes nested into their shells to a bird speared by a spindly tree to a lily pad bursting from an open alligator jaw."
"Each drawing took between 20 to 40 hours of focused work. I built every image in layers-starting with rough sketches, researching forms, refining the composition, and slowly developing the final drawing in pencil until it felt complete."
"Emotional ecosystem designed to help you witness your feelings, understand their purpose, and build a relationship with your inner world. It is not a tool for fixing yourself, but a practice for meeting yourself."
"The deck is designed to be used on its own or alongside a preferred tarot set, either by selecting an illustration that feels most alluring or profound in the moment or simply choosing a card and reflecting on the imagery."
