Tarot Portraits

These portraits are based on the Tarot. Often seen as an occult divination tool in movies, the Tarot’s major cards are made up of 22 familiar archetypes. These archetypes are frequently found in myths and stories, such as The Hermit, The Fool, Death, and etc. These archetypes are are thought to be created by humanity’s collective unconsciousness, as universal symbols or icons to better understand the world.

In this portrait series, Rosey explores the significance of these archetypes by representing each card with contemporary individuals.
