About the Artwork:
(A story written by Z.Maselko, who often writes about Moon’s artwork)
He left
Taking all the colors away
Hiding his fresh trail behind the veil of mist
No goodbye or farewell
You would take anything… anything instead of this –
Emptiness?
You locked your dreams up
Inside a puzzle of the heart
You lost a key deliberately
While searching
Yet… nothing.
Now, desperate and angry
You sit there, and just cry
Then…
Then you see me.
You notice a question in my eyes
Unsure, I send you a kiss
You hesitate and send a kiss back
I smile
And weave a subtle pattern inside this dark, ugly cloud
I catch you before you get there too deep
I bring a boat to show you the beauty of the world unseen by human eyes
I invite you to join me
“Invitation to travel”
I hope you like the name of this dream?
Now sleep.
