Lunar Phases arranges the visible phases of the lunar cycle as a vertical sequence of geometric forms: a slim crescent at one end, developing through half-circles to the full disc. The composition treats astronomical observation as a design system — each phase reduced to its essential silhouette on a warm beige ground. The theme of the lunar cycle has deep roots in East Asian art, from moon-viewing celebrations in Heian-era Japan to the round windows of Chinese scholar gardens.
The forms are cleanly vector-drawn silhouettes in dark charcoal on beige. No texture, no shading — the meaning lies in the arc of each silhouette and the even spacing between them. The vertical reading direction, from crescent to full disc or the reverse, leaves the interpretation open.
Lunar Phases works in quiet rooms: a bedroom, a home library, a bathroom. The vertical orientation suits tall, narrow wall surfaces, and the warm beige ground harmonises naturally with stone, wood and linen. . . . Read More >>

Lunar Phases works in quiet rooms: a bedroom, a home library, a bathroom. The vertical orientation suits tall, narrow wall surfaces, and the warm beige ground harmonises naturally with stone, wood and linen. Because each form is self-contained and unhurried, the print rewards longer looking.
Available as an unframed paper poster in several standard formats, and as a framed print with shatter-resistant acrylic in a slim contemporary frame. The framed version arrives ready to hang.
Frequently asked questions
How many lunar phases are depicted?
The composition shows the main phases of the visible lunar cycle — crescent, half-circle (first and third quarter), gibbous and full disc — as a vertical sequence of geometric forms.
What is the colour palette?
Dark charcoal or black forms on a warm beige ground. The palette is warm and quiet and integrates naturally into rooms with natural materials and neutral tones.
Which wall orientation suits this print?
The vertical composition works especially well on tall, narrow walls — between windows, above a bathroom vanity, or on a bedroom wall. Horizontal placement is possible if the print is rotated.
Is it also available framed?
Yes. The framed version has shatter-resistant acrylic and a slim contemporary frame, and arrives ready to hang.
