Arcane Relic

40 pieces, made for a set of natal chart readings given to friends. The twelve signs, the ten planets, the four points that are not planets at all, the four angles of the day and the ornaments for the spaces between.

Art Nouveau at the root — Mucha’s line, Lalique’s enamel — pushed toward something colder, older and more jeweled than either. They started as ChatGPT generations, and that is where most people stop. Every piece was then color-corrected and culled, normalized to a single specification, backgrounds keyed out, edges cropped, dozens of near-misses thrown away for each one that stayed. The machine produces candidates. It does not produce a collection.
