Moonbeams

Photography by Haruka Sato

My artistic practice is intimate and deeply personal. My photography aims to capture the rawness of the human condition, synthesizing emotion, individuality, and self-expression.

I am particularly fascinated by the marriage of lens-based media and digital art, continuously exploring the ways in which narrative photography can be transformed with overlays of texture and visual effects.

I desire not to be limited to a singular medium, but rather to experiment across various genres and forms of artistic expression. My photographic series, “Moonbeams”, delivers a glimpse into a metaphysical sanctuary; an alternate universe where the powerful energy of the moon stirs intense disorder and unrest.

When the moon aligns with the sun, a full moon forms – a phase where the energy of the planet runs highest, opening a gateway of healing or destruction.

The moon’s gravitational pull forms tides in oceans, similar to a seething rage, ruminating in the quiet that lies in rolling waves that crash over each other.

Rage can be beautiful, but what is often forgotten is that destructive emotion can stem from places of vulnerability or fear.

Each photograph functions as a thread weaving through a dreamlike state: a girl entering the eye of the storm, surrendering to chaos, merely existing in an ephemeral trance. In this ethereal world, she harnesses the divine feminine, flowing with the waves, holding remnants of stars in her palms and on her skin.
