    "I have collected some of my Full Moon shots taken over the past 10 years. I selected the shades of color with which the Moon was filmed in front of my lens and my eyes.

    The atmosphere gives different colors to our satellite (scattering) based on its height with respect to the horizon, based on the presence of humidity or suspended dust. The shape of the Moon also changes: at the bottom of the horizon, refraction compresses the lunar disk at the poles and makes it look like an ellipse. And this is one of the reasons why I have chosen to present my Full Moons through a spiral arrangement that ends with a eclipse.

    I didn’t notice all the colors that our atmosphere gives to our satellite before starting this work: I did not remember having photographed, for example, a brown Moon or that the purple Moon was such an incandescent purple. Only by putting the “brown” Moon next to the yellow one did I realize how brown the brown was and how yellow the yellow was.
    This effect in the field of “optical illusions” is called “simultaneous contrast of clarity”. Even the purple Moon, if left with the background of its sky, did not appear so purple but placed next to the pink ones and in the vortex of duller colors it seems as if it had turned on."
