This project aims to investigate methods of designing a Tarot Card deck that is inclusive and accessible to individuals with varying levels of visual ability.


Various materials were experimented with, including white clay, PVA adhesive, wax, sticky tape, silicone rubber, and acrylic paint, to create a series of tactile graphics on watercolor paper, sandpaper, and acrylic sheets.

This project was inspired by photos of natural landscapes, architectural spaces, installations, and exhibition spaces, and each suit represents an interpretation and translation of the relationship between humans, machines, and the environment.






Major Arcana Cards 

Human | Nature | Technology 


The Major Arcana introduces the terms to reveal the relationship between humans, nature, and technology, such as "Land," "Water," "Machine," "People," etc.

It represents how humans intervene in the natural environment and transform natural resources into design tools through systematic construction.







Minor Arcana Cards 

Natural Spaces | Architectural Spaces | Interior Spaces



The Minor Arcana contains four suits. The first suit is called The Bird's Eye. It illustrates the relationship between human behavior and natural spaces. Each card represents the impact and consequences of human power on nature. The second suit, The Sun's Eye, shows the different qualities of sunlight in architectural spaces and the subjective feelings it brings to people.
The third suit, The Machine's Eye, reinterprets the form of artificial light in interior spaces and its impact on human perception. The fourth group, The Third Eye, includes the psychological impact of using technology in interior spaces. Each card interprets a state of mind that is being affected.
