Set against recurring landscapes of deserts, cacti, and ceremonial lilies, The Velvet Deck reimagines playing card royalty through a surreal and ornamental lens. Drawing from Mexican visual references, fashion symbolism, and embellished detailing, each figure embodies a distinct personality shaped through costume, posture, and adornment. Kundan elements function as wearable armor — transforming garments and accessories into symbols of authority, seduction, and spectacle.
