Mother Moon

The alchemy of the painting Mother Moon reveals the interplay of opposites, echoing the alchemical terms coincidentia oppositorum—the reconciliation of opposites—as essential for individuation. The axial ladder in the myth represents the connection between earth, the underworld, and the heavens, symbolizing the psychological journey of integrating different levels of the psyche. This motif resonates deeply with the themes of balance and renewal in both personal and collective contexts. The apple was a personal symbol for the narrative this was intended for.
