“The 7 of Hearts in cartomancy is like the 7 of Cups in tarot: choices, illusions, not knowing what you want, mixed emotions.”
– M.F., who found a 7 of Hearts on February 1, 2024
I am currently conducting research in print arts based on a collection of cards—playing cards, tarot cards, and others—that I have been randomly finding in the streets since 1996. My focus is on their designs, textures, weathered traces, and occasionally their symbolism, as well as the day’s current events or context. I note coincidences, make associations, and sometimes search for meaning. This collection of over a hundred cards is organized along a timeline that intersects with the personal diary and everyday life.
