SELECTED COMPLETED WORKS TO DATE
THE HIGH PRIESTESS II
trump II
Acrylic on canvas, 36 × 36 in
Status: Completed
Role in the deck: Establishes how knowledge is preserved through protection, lineage, and restraint rather than visibility or authority
This second High Priestess centers knowledge that survives through protection, lineage, and restraint. The image draws from intergenerational relationships and a specific regional landscape, positioning the land itself as elder and witness rather than resource. Unlike traditional depictions of hidden or esoteric knowledge, this card emphasizes stewardship—what must be held quietly in order to endure across time, bodies, and change.
THE EMPRESS
trump III
Acrylic and gold leaf on hardboard, 40 × 60 in
Status: Completed
Role in the Deck: Tests where care, authority, and legitimacy are trusted based on appearance or language rather than demonstrated capacity.
This card examines care, fertility, and nurturance as forms of authority rather than comfort. Grounded in lived experience, the work interrogates the gap between the appearance of safety and the actual capacity to witness, intervene, or hold what is offered. Rather than presenting the Empress as refuge or unconditional support, this version focuses on what continues when care is assumed but not enacted, and how systems persist through inaction as much as intent.
THE CHARIOT
trump xi
Acrylic and gold leaf on canvas,
36 × 36 in
Status: Completed
Role in the deck: Establishes how movement and momentum are treated across the project.
This card reinterprets The Chariot as forward motion shaped by lived constraint rather than conquest or control. The subject is grounded in real geography and personal history, replacing traditional symbols of dominance with images of negotiation, endurance, and carried weight. Rather than victory, the work centers on momentum—what moves us forward, what we bring with us, and what eventually demands reckoning if pace is left unexamined.
