A moon, a rabbit, and falling leaves... what do these all have in common?
They all relate to the Mid-Autumn Festival, a harvest festival celebrated on the solstice by many countries in East Asia. When I was contacted by JADED Pittsburgh and OCA Pittsburgh to make a design for their Asian-american Moon Fest, I was absolutely elated!
Looking into the history of the festival, I incorporated imagery of a rabbit and mortar+pestle in the moon (referring to the legend of the Jade Rabbit) as well as paper lanterns and xiangyun, or auspicious clouds.
