Description
Chang'e (姮娥) is the Chinese deity yearly celebrated in the Mid Autumn Festival.
Her name is commonly written 嫦娥, but I prefer the alternative version 姮娥, because in the first Hanzi (Chinese character) appear symbolic elements that are tightly related to the story itself: a woman and a moon contained between heavens and earth. It’s as if the whole story of the goddess were depicted within her own name, a fascinating uniqueness of Chinese language.
Both Hanzi also inspired the composition of the painting in ways that I will let the viewer explore together with other elements that are meant to stimulate further interpretations.
