In the run-up to Mid-Autumn Festival (aka Mooncake Festival), l’m launching a new trilogy – “Flying to the Moon”.

Contrary to the conventional interpretation of Lady on the Moon, Chang’e 嫦娥, I am looking deeper into this mythical heroine by exhibiting her in various moods in the form of jade, ruby and sapphire, according to various events spanning her mortal life and eventual immortality.

The first episode is “Fantasy – Jade”. This portrays Chang’e in her prime before meeting her lover in the mortal world. She is full of happiness and hope. The moon is her oyster.
