About the Artwork:
Under the glow of the full moon, emotions rise like the tides. This painting captures a woman in a moment of raw vulnerability, reaching for the luminous moon in space as tears stream down her face. In her grasp, it is both a source of power and yet an overwhelming force, mirroring the way the lunar cycles pull at the soul, especially with ties to the feminine mystery. This piece speaks to the way the moon amplifies our emotions, illuminating what we often keep in the darkness.
