In this created scene, light glows from several moons, illuminating the red lines that almost form a triangle. Splotches of gold and red and brown create a warm color palette that is like an embrace.
Natural tree limbs bisect the moon, making us feel that we might be in a mysterious forest. This concept is brought to life in Lady Mary Wortley Montagu’s “Hymn to the Moon.” Here’s a snippet of it:
Thou silver deity of secret night,
Direct my footsteps through the woodland shade;
Thou conscious witness of unknown delight,
The Lover’s guardian, and the Muse’s aid!
By thy pale beams I solitary rove,
To thee my tender grief confide;
Serenely sweet you gild the silent grove,
My friend, my goddess, and my guide.
