Sterk focuses on the moon not just as a light source, but as a powerful physical engine. By utilizing a monochrome palette and sharp, expressive geometric shapes, the artist highlights the scientific reality that the moon’s tidal effect is nearly double that of the sun. The composition balances the vastness of space with the structured discipline of graphic design, turning an astronomical fact into a rhythmic visual experience.

The work draws from decorative traditions, blending intricate patterns with a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere. Within the squared frame, the celestial body becomes a focal point for a wider exploration of universal forces. It is a study of contrast and symmetry, where the expansive night sky is organized into a series of delicate, interlocking forms that suggest both the motion of water and the stillness of the cosmos.
