Positioning through triangulating

In this project, I explore how Tarot archetypes can be translated into the language of contemporary visual design through stock imagery. I am creating a structured catalogue in which each Tarot card is linked to specific stock images and organised into groups based on elements, descriptions, and narrative structures. The goal is to treat Tarot not as mysticism, but as a universal symbolic framework for storytelling and emotional communication, while also approaching the project with production-aware thinking
