Piece description from the artist
When I was a child, I was afraid of the dark. I would run up the driveway and sing to the stars until I got to the warm light of the house.
In a way, this mirrors my shadow ~ the parts of me hidden away that I have learned to love. I'm learning to be afraid of the dark and instead, approach it all with curiosity.
What blooms in moonlight is about imagining all that blooms in the night and unknown.
