B.A. Graduation Exhibition – ‘Once In A Blue Moon’
“Blue Moon” refers to the repeated presence of a full moon in the same month. This rare cosmic phenomenon symbolises preciousness, enchantment, and exceptional discord. As we lose grip of the control of our lives in this world of turbulence, we find ourselves drowning into an abyss of numbness, dithering in the mist.
The fortuitousness of the blue moon parallels its certainty, like how life is ephemeral yet planned, and how reincarnation repeats a cycle. The moon, which hovers eternally in the sky, is all that we have tonight.
The B.A. Graduation Exhibition of The Art of CUHK 2024 is titled “Once In A Blue Moon”.
Confronting all kinds of forces majeure, this year’s graduates catch hold of and piece together their gentlest glow into completeness under the blue moon night, contributing to a collective amalgamation of a common sentiment. Despite realising the uncertainty of reality, we take grasp of the transience with our works, hoping to see the paradise below the moon that breaks through the illusionary reality through art.
Even though our world is bleak, the precious blue moon reminds us of things that last in the eternity of time. As the darkness descends, let us cast our gaze skyward to behold the resplendent moon. Before the night ends and the blue moon befalls again, we shall embrace the moon tonight.
