Cards 1–4 are inspired by early Southern European playing card designs and my study of the Tarot, is a kind of proposition for a new card deck. The same UFO shape morphs, merges, and collides in each numbered piece. This playful repetition hints at an obsessive quest for patterns and meaning in chaos—a nod to, and perhaps a satire of, Jung’s concept of synchronicity. Like a countdown for a spaceship launch, we’re primed to expect a takeoff, but with the UFO, the opposite occurs: it’s descending toward us.
