This sculpture explores that duality. From afar, the moon appears serene—bathed in soft, reflected light, hovering in the sky like a quiet sentinel; but up close, it reveals a harsher truth: a barren surface etched with impact craters and the remnants of ancient eruptions. Its swirling, textured forms echo the moon’s rugged terrain while also conjuring the movement of wind and water, blurring the boundary between the celestial and the terrestrial. Dark, fractured edges give way to pale, fluid curves—inviting contemplation of how beauty shifts with perspective.

I’ve always envisioned Moon displayed in a Japanese-inspired garden, where it would enter into quiet dialogue with its surroundings. The raw, elemental texture would stand in striking contrast to the controlled elegance of raked gravel, moss-covered stones, and carefully placed flora—reinforcing the sculpture’s themes of duality: chaos and stillness, vastness and intimacy, the seen and the unseen.
