To the Moon and Back

To the Moon and Back is a mixed-media artwork that explores the deep, complex bond between a mother and daughter, infused with the nostalgic spirit of childhood. Using personal and found objects—such as a library card and a mother’s necklace—the piece evokes sentimental longing and invites viewers to reflect on their own familial relationships. Bright colors, delicate textures, and sound amplify the emotional resonance, celebrating the enduring power of love and life’s continuity.
