The moon rises even in low places (2026) by Bohwa Kim is a serene acrylic painting featuring a large and luminous pinkish yellow moon positioned at the bottom center of the canvas. Above the moon large layered leaves in vibrant pink and soft blue surround small Mayapple flowers that bloom facing the ground. The entire composition is set against a solid dark blue background symbolizing that hope and light can be found in the lowliest of places.

Artist’s Note : The moon rises even in low places

Mayapples bloom facing the ground. Beneath them, even lower, I placed the moon. The moon rises even in low places.

Hope does not choose height.
