Descrizione: This illustration is part of the “The Oniric Realm Tarot,” a deck inspired by “Dreamlike Fantasy.” The concept is inspired by fantastical dreams, where “real” things blend with fantastical elements in an ephemeral and surreal way.

The star represents rebirth, hope, and a new tomorrow. This concept was linked to kintsugi, an ancient Japanese art for repairing broken ceramic objects. Instead of hiding the cracks, this technique uses resin mixed with gold, silver, or platinum powder to highlight the fractures. Through this practice, the object takes on a new life and becomes stronger and more beautiful than before, making its scars visible. Beyond the craft, kintsugi represents a profound philosophy of life: resilience and acceptance, concepts strongly linked to the Star card.

To maintain the dreamlike fantasy concept, the statue was given life, emerging from a fountain at dawn, with the stars that usually appear on the card now adorning its crown.
