The moon has always kept time with the human heart, waxing and waning alongside our moods and our sense of what feels possible. This piece renders that cycle in brass, moving from an unbroken circle through the half-moons down to a single slender crescent.
In many traditions the new moon marks a beginning and the full moon a culmination, with every stage between understood as necessary transition rather than instability.
Brass adds its own steadiness. Warm and enduring, it deepens with age rather than wearing out, echoing the moon's presence in the sky in some form every night, even when unseen.
Displayed in a home, the phases read almost like a sentence written top to bottom, an invitation to notice which phase your own life feels closest to.
