Animae: The Source

Animae is a deck of cards designed to help people slow down and reflect on what matters most — whether alone, with family, or in community. Each card features a single core value — such as courage, empathy, gratitude, or honesty. Paired with an abstract image, the card invites thoughtful conversation, personal reflection, and creative exploration.

Each image began as an intuitively designed, hand-cut collagraph plate, inked with oil-based inks, and printed on printmaking paper using an etching press before being digitized.

The textures, symbols, and abstract forms were intentionally crafted to evoke the subconscious — allowing each viewer to project their own meaning and insight.
