Description:

Skulls & Roses Playing Cards by Bruce Di Quinzio reimagines death as transformation-a shift into the eternal. Skulls embody change; roses symbolize life's fragile defiance of time. Drawing from 17th-century cathedral stained glass and noble kings and queens' ornate decks, this design bridges history and contemplation. More than cards, it's a tactile meditation on life's sacred dance with impermanence. Each piece whispers of beauty, mortality, and meaning beyond the material.
