9 Muses
Inspired by the "Siyam na Diwata ng Sining/Nine Muses of the Arts" sculpture by Napoleon Abueva at UP Diliman and goddess/oracle cards, this series re-envisions modern Filipina muses as "Diwata Cards" which can be pulled for words of advice for those seeking inspiration. Published monthly on Hella Pinay digital with accompanying interviews; a limited-edition oracle deck and booklet was also available exclusively for our Indiegogo supporters.
