A New Dawn

I thought I'd begin with an image from a personal project. I'm fascinated by the imagery of Tarot Cards, particularly the Major Arcana. This is made up of characters such as the Emperor, the Empress, the Hanged Man and abstract ideas, such as Justice, Fortune and Strength. I want to express these archetypes through the imagery of Hindu mythology and so am beginning with Surya - the Sun God - in his chariot drawn by seven horses representing the seven days of the week.

With twenty one images to come up with, this is a project I hope to keep adding to over the following months!
