The Story Behind the Art

The Moon in Virgo breathes with the magic of the good old days. A housekeeper carries a basket of fresh cakes to the pantry, smiling at the fruits of her labor neatly lined up on the shelves. Everything she has done throughout the year was done with love and her family in mind. Over food, tea, or wine, one should linger with friends and savor the gifts of the present moment. Here, health holds a far different value than in a modern health food store. A little of a good thing—even if rich in fat or cholesterol—cannot harm when eaten in moderation and with pure joy. The housekeeper inherited her recipes from her grandmother and will pass them down to her daughter and granddaughter. She uses her grandmother’s traditional stoneware bowls, and knives, which give her a sense of eternity and constancy. Here, quality does not fade with time; on the contrary, it grows even more beautiful.

Hidden Details to Discover

Beyond its other meanings, the Moon’s position in a horoscope represents one's ideal of home. Therefore, the artist has placed the Moon of each zodiac sign into a room that best captures its inner nature and brings a sense of comfort. The detail-oriented Moon in Virgo is depicted in her element: a neat, well-organized pantry.
