Mansions of the Moon (2025)

An animated reimagining of the 28 lunar mansions — each piece a living mandala generated from authentic constellation coordinates, planetary color palettes, and sacred geometric forms. Where the original collection captured the mansions as still digital art, this series brings them into motion: pulsing, breathing artworks that mirror the moon's own endless cycle.

Each of the 28 animated artworks in this collection is a unique generative piece rooted in the celestial identity of each lunar mansion. These aren't decorative images — they are historically grounded visual interpretations of the Manazil al-Qamar, the 28 divisions of the lunar sky used in classical Islamic astronomy to track celestial time and understand cosmic influence.

Every piece features authentic constellation coordinates from astronomical catalogs, rendered as glowing stars in their true positions. Color palettes are drawn from traditional planetary correspondences — warm reds and oranges for Mars-ruled mansions, cool blues and purples for Saturn, golden yellows for the Sun. Sacred geometric patterns weave through each composition, from the Flower of Life to Metatron's Cube, symbolizing the mathematical harmony underlying celestial movement.

The artworks are animated, creating living mandalas that pulse and flow with each mansion's mystical energy — just as the moon itself moves through its endless cycle. The series is designed to be contemplative: an invitation to slow down, orient yourself in lunar time, and feel the rhythms that shaped how our ancestors understood the sky.
