- Artist statement
In my work I strive to capture the beauty and enchantment of the moon's cycle. The Lunar Mirror, a creation inspired by the dance of our lunar companion, embodies my fascination with how it shapes our lives and the natural world. This piece goes beyond being a mirror; it mirrors the serene and transformative presence of the moon in our everyday lives. I decided to depart from mirror designs by incorporating layers of colors that mimic the depth of the night sky and even evoke the rarity of a 'blue moon.' This piece is interactive allowing viewers to change its appearance based on their mood like how the moon's phases are ever changing. My goal for the Lunar Mirror is not only for it to be functional but to serve as a catalyst for contemplation and connection bridging personal spaces, with cosmic realms.
- Artwork/Product Description
Throughout the centuries we looked to the moon observing its phases, its soft birth, its glories bloom and it's quiet thinning. The stages in the lunar calendar and the changes they carry with them are thought to affect the human mind, emotions and even behaviour. It is more than a calendar and more than a vision lighting up our darkness, it is a mirror, it is our reflection.
The "lunar tale" is an installation where mirrors and gold plated aluminum are interlaced and locked into unique pattern, depicts these phases of the moon in a formidable work of art.
