About the Artwork

I made this "Moon Spirit" feeling the importance of the influence of astronomical bodies. Our planet is influenced by the waxing and waning of the moon; people are born when the sea is at high tide and pass away when at low tide. People have lived within nature in this way from ancient times. I made the Moon Spirit holding a crescent moon that is waxing, hoping for good things to happen to many people.
