LunaR, 2021
The glow of the moon and its possibilities to dream of otherworldly places has inspired people to do impossible things and to create imaginary journeys for the mind to travel.
My daughter reminds me: “I resemble the moon, that is why my name is Luna”. When she was very young, still, and whenever she was not with me, I found moons and constellations of planets on the surface of the street. Looking at our surroundings in such a way shows possibilities for lightness, a momentary inner journey. Changing what is quotidian and normal ever so slightly so that it becomes something else.
Following this new young life of my child is a journey in itself of love and lightness. This visual journey is an ode to my daughter, who inspires me to always see the world differently and keep traveling.
The project was realized for ‘Louis200’, the 200th birthday celebration of Mr. Louis Vuitton. Two hundred artists were invited to create works that were showcased in Louis Vuitton’s shop windows worldwide.
