Six years in the making, Christina Mrozik<\/a>\u2019s new project tackles \u201cthe feelings of all things.\u201d Fifty cards comprise the richly illustrated oracle deck, which delves into a vast emotional terrain through the artist\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach drawing took between 20 to 40 hours of focused work,\u201d Mrozik writes. \u201cI built every image in layers\u2014starting with rough sketches, researching forms, refining the composition, and slowly developing the final drawing in pencil until it felt complete.\u201d<\/p>\n

What results is an \u201cemotional 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,\u201d they add. <\/p>\n

As with much of Mrozik\u2019s work<\/a>, The Feelings of All Things melds beauty and pain, death and life. 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.<\/p>\n

The Feelings of All Things has just under a week to go on Kickstarter<\/a>, where it\u2019s blown past its original goal, although there are still a few rewards available. Find more on Mrozik\u2019s website<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
