The suit of Coins is related essentially to the physical/ material aspects of life, such as health, wealth and financial gains.
The green tone that crosses the entire suit, the flowers and fruits or the majestic trees, speak about the fertility of the Earth. Before any gold or silver currency, the wealth and welfare of a person was defined by the abundance of food and a successful harvest. A decent nourishment contributed to a strong immune system that improved the people’s health, so that’s all related.
We opted to include and explore this classical idea of abundance and its link to nature, to define the element of Earth, strongly associated with this suit.
The coins as objects aim to partially disconnect the concepts of wealth and security from its original, agrarian origin. The gold seems to connect the suit to a more human context, affecting us directly in our daily lives.
The same way, the arts and crafts have an important role in the worldly plane, related to its capacity to excite our senses. Springtime, ruled by Venus, is also the season of the artists, bringing new inspiration to the world and to help us to enjoy the pleasures of life.
“Without music, life would be a mistake.” – Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols.
The financial prosperity inherent to the suit has an enormous influence on our business and projects, as well as in the way we manage our material resources. For that reason, this is a suit easier to understand, because it is more tangible than the others, reflecting with accuracy both positive and negative attributes of each card.
Despite the beneficial aspects of the entire suit, they easily turn around and seem to focus on the excess and on the selfish proposes.
