Distressed Playing Cards: Hearts & Clubs

These photographs of hearts and spades playing cards are part of the ‘Found Objects’ series.  I found the cards while walking in my neighbourhood – Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) Kuala Lumpur – Malaysia. I used the distressed playing cards with hearts and clubs as subject matter for a black and white photo series.

According to a blog called the – Metasymbology Science of Cards – the 2 of Clubs card meaning is:

“All Two of Club are clever and quick-witted. They never lack an answer and can be very opinionated. They protect the ones they love, and are generally well protected when it comes to money.”

Blog entries focused on my collection of found objects can be found here.
