About this work / story layer
The story inside Moon Resident
I created this work around the image of a woman who seems to awaken in the middle of a cosmic dream. She is neither fully on earth nor fully in the sky, but suspended on a narrow threshold between darkness and light. For me, the woman represents the intuitive and generative side of human existence, the part of us that feels meaning before it can explain it. In this sense, I am close to Carl Jung’s view of the unconscious as a realm of hidden forces, dreams, and inner transformation. Her body appears to be in a state between dance and ritual, because sometimes a human being experiences truth physically before understanding it intellectually. She stands on the moon because the moon belongs to the world of night, imagination, and mystery, a place where one confronts solitude and the deeper self. The small sun in her hand does not suggest that the universe has become smaller. Rather, it suggests that true light does not always come from outside. Each person must carry and protect a small light of their own within the darkness.
