LET THERE BE COLOR continues the tarot-inspired Let There Be series, channelling the vibrant cultural pulse of the 1980s into a limited-edition art deck created during the global pandemic. Consisting of 23 cards (22 Major Arcana + 1 bonus card), the deck blends classic tarot symbolism with bold design, neon gradients, and a curated 1980s playlist–transforming each card into a multisensory portal.

Created in a time marked by isolation and monotony, the project responds to the grayness of lockdown life with an unapologetic explosion of color. Each card is infused with vivid energy, serving as both a visual tonic and an emotional compass during moments of uncertainty. The accompanying music–carefully selected 1980s tracks–enhances the experience, prompting users to interpret the imagery through rhythm, nostalgia, and personal memory.
