Seducted by the moon
The moon in art
There are many rhythms and beats that affect our bodies and dictate our state of being. Seasonal, circadian and lunar cycles all affect the physiology of the living. However, it is the moon’s seductive pull that dances with the water in our make-up. In this piece, author Charlotte Jansen explores our long-term synchronicity with the moon, circling back to our genesis, the warm sea of our mothers’ wombs: our ultimate home.
