Moon Lake

The Moon Lake carries a multilayered message. The moon is often regarded as a metaphor for the hidden aspects of nature, supernatural forces, changeability, and madness. However, in many belief systems, it represents femininity, fertility, and motherhood. It is directly connected to the rhythm of human life and serves as a symbol of nature’s mysteries. It also symbolizes changeability, the soul, madness, and evil, and is associated with sleep, dreams, and emotions.

The lake is a symbol of your soul, imagination, and inner, unconscious desires. Water represents chaos, changeability, instability, transformation, the rebirth of body and spirit, resurrection, fertility, power, purification, baptism, wisdom, truth, good and evil, virtue, grace, oblivion, the cosmic mind, magic, and femininity.

The inspiration for this work came from areas resembling seas, bays, and lakes covering the surface of the moon, such as the Lakes of Dreams (Lacus Somniorum) and Death (Lacus Mortis).

The base of the lake consists of an openwork structure built from connected elements shaped like the typefaces of Władysław Strzemiński’s alphabet.

The openwork form, directly inspired by handmade lace, is covered with thousands of golden knots, creating a shimmering surface reminiscent of a lake illuminated by the full moon. The moon shines with sunlight reflected from its surface, hence the use of the color gold.
