"The goal of this piece was to directly confront the idea of what can be visible compared to what is considered accessible. The moon can be seen by anyone, but very few are able to get close to it or even interact with it. As a result, the moon becomes less of goal and more of a commodity or status symbol. This work represents how the moon is closer to us (Earth) than it appears to be. At the same time, the concept of it seems so far away and hard to interact with. By placing the moon as a bright light, it showcases something as approachable and yet untouchable to the viewer. Replicating that space of the moon helps to drive that idea of awareness forward."
