The crab, is a traditional symbol of the Moon featured on The Moon tarot card in many decks. Some say it represents ideas and images rising from the Watery subconscious. This crab preserves the moon in a vessel, as if containing both its Fire and Earth aspects, but the Moon transforms itself into the Luna moth, a creature of Air. This painting unites the Four Elements, showing them as part and parcel with the night. The original 18 x 24" painting has been sold.
