Moods
of the Moon Video
Approximately
every 2.7 years there is a blue moon - that is the phenomenon
where there are two full moons that appear in the same
month. Sometimes that extra, rare moon appears to have
a bluish glow, thereby gaining the name in song, poetry,
and myth of being a "blue moon."
The last blue moon was in June 2007. There will be two blue moons in 2018.
Part
of the collection, Namaste: The Moon - Moods of the
Moon: 33 Peace Moons series reflects the universality
of this singular celestial body's presence and power
to awe and inspire all living beings who share our world.
The
original artwork in this series began as a digital photograph
of a waxing quarter moon that was taken on a night of
major personal transition in the artist's life. This
foundational photograph was sliced and collaged and
became the first "mood" of the moon, reflecting
the idea that the same moon she was seeing was being
shared not only with loved ones near and far, but with
all people, everywhere. Presenting a magical, silvery
glow upon a black sky, this first artwork was named
"Peace Moon."
The
inspiration for presenting 33 moons (32 moon in 2.7
years plus the extra blue moon) flowed spontaneously
as the artist experimented with the original artwork
in a variety of colorful expressions. Soon the consistent
theme of universal presence, blended with her own deep
desire for both inner and world peace, emerged as a
visually tangible expression of the idea that in order
to seek lasting win-win solutions, we need to discover
and celebrate the things we have in common with those
whom we find ourselves to be in conflict.
And
so the moon is presented here in 33 moods, where in
33 random languages from around the world it is the
Peace Moon, Luna di Pace, Maluhia Hukolu, Mier Mesic,
Mir Misyatsy, Mire Luna, Pacis Luna, Pokoju Ksiezyc,
Pyoung-Hwa Dal, Rauha Kuu, , Peng on Yuet, Saati Chandra,
Salaam Qamar, Ashtee Mahtab, Santiphap Pra-jahn, Vrede
Maan, Shalom Yareakn, Sidi Dadawa, Siochaan Luan, Usalama
Mwezi, Wakiijiwebisi Tibik-Kizis, Beke Hold, Ets an
Olal Ixuj, Der Friede Mond, Fred Manen, Friur Tungi,
Heiwa Tsuki, Hetep Yah, Hoa Binh Mai Trang, Lua de Paz,
Irini Fengari, Luna de Paz.
It
is sincerely hoped that you will enjoy this unique presentation.
