Six years of meticulous artistry
Christina Mrozik unveils a deeply personal creation, a 50-card oracle deck that encompasses “the feelings of all things.” With elaborate illustrations, this collection explores the vast emotional landscapes through Mrozik’s unique visual metaphors of flora and fauna. Each card employs a monochromatic palette to depict surreal subjects: twin turtles with eyes ingeniously nestled within their shells, a bird dramatically pierced by a slender tree, and a lily pad erupting from a gaping alligator’s jaw.
For a deeper look into surreal art, explore how Jake Messing’s hyperrealistic paintings celebrate the abundance of nature with intricate detail.
Every drawing demanded between 20 to 40 hours of precise labor. Christina Mrozik shares, “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.”
An emotional ecosystem
The resulting deck is an ’emotional ecosystem,’ an invitation to observe and understand your emotions rather than attempting to fix them. It is designed as a reflective practice for experiencing self-awareness. Whether used solo or paired with a favorite tarot set, the cards stand as alluring gateways to introspection—chosen either for their immediate resonance or at random for thoughtful reflection.
The deck exemplifies Mrozik’s ability to blend beauty with pain and themes of death with life, creating powerful juxtapositions that invite deep contemplation.
