Nu Godz

We can easily imagine a future in which once common organisms, now lost, become sacrosanct.

True to the nihilistically self-obsessed disposition of our society,
it’s obvious that more and more of the natural world will continue to disappear (sorry, Future). To make up for it, we created some organic deities for future peoples to turn to when they feel sad or whatever. Our little way of saying “our bad.”

For the future, these are the selfless little beings that sacrificed themselves so that we might be entertained, sedated and otherwise blissfully distracted. Big ups to the Nu Godz.

My interpretation of Dear Future
We created a series of deity cards to represent the notion that—what we once sacrificed, the future will worship. Inspired by the visual language of Polish Orthodox Icons, psychedelic art of the 60s/70s, and tarot decks, these cards mythologize the fragile little beings we were unwilling to protect because we were preoccupied with selfies and shopping.
