In The Veiled Court, I reimagine the archetypes of the Major Arcana as ethereal, feminine figures, inhabiting a palace of the psyche. Drawing from fashion editorials, portrait photography, historical painting, and life, the compositions (generally 11x14”) present cinematic tableaux in high-chroma acrylic, with illuminated titles. The figures appear in liminal spaces, framed by drapery, arches, and gold borders that create layered thresholds between inner and outer worlds. The series unfolds in three acts, where identity is staged, tested, and revised. Through this progression, The Veiled Court charts a journey of struggle and self-transformation, inviting archetypes to be encountered not as fixed symbols, but as lived states of becoming.
