Moonwatching
'Moonwatching' is an illustration based on my memories.
After especially long day in school I would come home, pull out a telescope, and watch the moon in the darkness of my room while listening to ambient music.
Seeing the moon up-close would give me a feeling of extreme tranquility. Being reminded of the vastness and beauty of the space we float in would make all my worries seem insignificant.
Seeing the moon’s motion in the telescope is also the only time I could ever visually register and “feel” spinning of the Earth.
Animation represents view of the Moon through the telescope.
