Description:
 
Created between 2012 - 2015, during what I call Mid-Chapter 1—a phase within my artistic journey spanning 2006 - 2020. This piece is part of the Telastory Collection/Series, an exploration of storytelling as a theatrical and immersive experience.
 
“The Sun and The Moon” is a story about balance—not in terms of light and dark, but in the way both elements are essential for harmony. The Sun invites, the Moon whispers. Each plays a role in the rhythm of existence, reminding us that understanding comes not from opposition but from coexistence.
 
_________
When creating Telastory, I was thinking about theatre, the stage, and the art of storytelling. It was about engaging an audience in a world where stories could be shared, evolved, and expanded upon. A creative hub where voices could be heard, and narratives could be shaped collectively.
 
This piece embodies that vision:
•    A storytelling space, allowing people to add to, swap, and collect stories.
•    A platform for collaboration, where art is a conversation rather than a statement.
•    A place to listen to our inner voice, to inspire and awaken each other.
•    A neutral, safe space, free from borders, division, or the need to be “right.”
 
In a conflicted world, I hope to use art and storytelling as a means of co-creating a new understanding—one that encourages tolerance, openness, and a deeper connection to ourselves and each other.
 
This illustration is more than a static piece; it is an invitation to engage, to reflect, and to contribute to the story.
