Diorama
Tarot Arcana sculpture of Strength, inspired by Mayan/Aztec motifs: calm self-mastery beside a jaguar under moonlit jungle; reversed: Ragnarök breaks the chains, instinct and Wolf's sun-devouring doom overtake the self.

The series brings to sculpture the Major Arcana in two specular readings : upright on one side, reversed on the other.
Fair warning: these are not “the classical” Tarot Arcana, these are my personal interpretation of the Arcana.
Instead of a reconstruction, think of it as a symbolic translation.
In this project I deliberately moved away from conventions.
These cards borrow meaning from multiple cultures (sometimes faithfully, sometimes freely) using their symbolic vocabulary to express an idea rather than to recreate a myth.
Instead of Strength being portrayed as domination, here it's staged as relationship.
The composition balance is equally shared between the figure and its companion.
A quiet pact between the human and the instinct that could devour her.
The figure is seated upright—composed, unafraid, unhurried.
The companion is a jaguar, a historically potent emblem in Mesoamerican worlds—frequently associated with power, elite identity, and the night/underworld complex.
The relationship is not of domination but proximity.
The setting sharpens the idea. Moonlight and jungle frame Strength as something tested in a world that has teeth.
The ancient stone seat reads like continuity: strength in tradition, discipline, and patience carried forward rather than performed for a moment.
The reverse is not “weakness.”
It is the catastrophic mirror of Strength: when the inner beast stops being companion and becomes doom.
Ragnarök enters through the image of the wolf consuming the sun: order swallowed, rhythm erased.
Chains break, and the beast eclipses the composition, pushing the human presence toward the margins.
A closer look at the form, the craft, and the sculpt. Let the details speak for themselves
An oni-like mask signals the crossing of a threshold into monstrous otherness: the face becomes omen rather than identity.
Here Strength is pushed beyond personal anger into cosmic consequence: a world where the rhythm of guidance is swallowed, and Strength becomes appetite.
