The title is a literal translation of the words “Art Nouveau” in Filipino. The images were inspired by the vegetative, flowing, curvilinear forms of Art Nouveau. I developed this particular style of Art Nouveau for this series, one feature of which is the use of discorporation. A peculiarity of the deck is that all the human figures in the cards have closed eyes. This deck is also unique in that it is essentially a double majors-only deck – each of the traditional major arcana card is split into two halves: male and female. Hence, there is a male High Priestess card and a female High Priestess card, and so on. (As an aside, the term double major makes me recall my university days, as back then it was a bit popular to get a double major – to major in two disciplines)
Given its very limited edition release, the deck is now out-of-print. For interested parties, I recommend that you check with online auction sites such as Ebay or inquire with specialist tarot stores such as Tarot Garden (link) for possible available copies.
