Inspired by the lush paradise of Abrahamic lore, where humanity’s story began, the Garden of Eden Playing Cards by Vermilion Collection are a captivating blend of art, history, and mysticism.
In the Garden of Eden Playing Cards, artist Mori weaves a tapestry of surrealistic grotesquery, capturing the ethereal essence of life, death, and human desires. The decks feature familiar biblical motifs such as goats, snakes, owls, fountains, flames, trees, thorns, apples, grapes, and skeletons. Each card tells a visual tale, a sequential narrative resonating with the Edenic vision.
Contained within the collector’s box are two distinct decks: “Garden of Eden” and “Lost Paradise.” These decks, when combined, create a harmonious visual journey that mirrors the innocent beauty and eventual fall of humanity.
The court cards, in particular, unfold a story, embodying the sequential tale of Edenic vision. With meticulous attention to detail, Mori brings to life a deck that goes beyond the ordinary.
Printed by KSPCC, this mystical set is available for pre-order, with shipping scheduled for late February. Available for $20 from the Vermilion store.
