Catalogue Note
"Who knows how many people have confessed their feelings to the moon that has always hung out of reach since ancient times? Sometimes, one remembers the occasional passersby in life. Those chance meetings were filled with high emotions but these eventually dissipated as well. The paintings is here used to express the sense of regret and nostalgia".
