Aurora—Purple Moon Isis

»Review«

View from my kitchen window: Sky at sunrise in February, one of various variants of “Behind the Curtain.” A characteristic of these variants are the recurring electricity pylons (in varying numbers), which—like the trees, when visible—stand for life energy in a figurative sense.

The purple moon, a rare lunar phenomenon, has always been the subject of many myths. In addition to spirituality, magic and mystery, it also symbolizes creativity and originality. In terms of spiritual transformation, the purple moon is a reminder that even in the darkest of times we can find the light within ourselves and transform our lives. In this work, the purple moon is only associated with the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis, who was known as the goddess of the moon and the goddess of magic. The early morning look at the colors of the sky of the dawning day led to this variation of “Behind the Curtain” and two others.

The photograph is of the early morning sky over Bochum, and the work is therefore part of the ‘Playing around with skies’ series. The SKY series explores the theme of “SKY” on three levels: visual, written, and sound.
