EARTH'S SHADOW, MOON'S CRUST

“EARTH’S SHADOW, MOON’S CRUST” is an insightful exhibition, which delves into humanity’s enduring fascination with the moon, reflecting our deep-seated desire to reach beyond our terrestrial confines and understand celestial bodies. The exhibition posits that our journey to understand the moon commences right here on Earth, the starting point from which all celestial endeavors spring.

Through careful observation, humans have studied the moon, capturing the myriad reflections of the cosmos displayed on its surface, as well as interpreting our own psychological and emotional reflections cast upon it. This bidirectional reflection not only bridges outer space with inner sentiment but also underscores the moon as a canvas for human curiosity and conjecture.
In pursuit of this celestial understanding, the exhibition highlights how a specific vision point on Earth has been pivotal. By anchoring this point amidst familiar earthly surroundings—our natural world comprised of flora, fauna, stones, and waters—we forge a connection that roots our extraterrestrial explorations in the terrestrial. This grounding is crucial as it allows us to extend our reach mentally and imaginatively from the known to the unknown.

The exhibition suggests that our efforts to comprehend the moon can reveal as much about the Earth and ourselves as they do about our satellite companion. This interplay between Earth’s resources and lunar curiosity not only fuels our scientific inquiry but also enriches our cultural and philosophical perspectives.
