Observing the moon’s phases from a single vantage point over a month traces a shape that can abstractly resemble the letter N. This movement is a visual poem where the moon shifts, hides, and sometimes is obscured by clouds. In the vast sky of life, this remains a metaphorical reminder of constant alteration. Resistance is the constant negotiation between what is and what could be. Just as the moon maintains its orbit while it may be hidden, resistance is the act of holding a vision when the path forward is obscured.
