The Moon Was Running Late

Somewhere between midnight and morning, the moon missed its cue.

The Moon Was Running Late is a dreamlike collage that drifts through moon phases, midnight blues and fragments of forgotten stories. Inspired by the playful chaos of Dadaism, it combines elegant vintage portraiture, celestial motifs and striking blue herons into a scene that feels both familiar and impossible. Architectural sketches, watchful eyes and scattered typography hint at a narrative just out of reach—as if the universe is quietly rearranging itself while nobody is looking.

Rich cobalt tones, soft antique textures and touches of gold create a piece that feels mysterious, thoughtful and wonderfully strange. Perfect for lovers of surreal art, moonlit aesthetics and interiors that favour the unexpected over the ordinary.

A conversation starter for anyone who has ever lost track of time while staring at the night sky.
