This classic sun and moon piece signifies a strong relationship between a mother and daughter. As they each represent a role in life, they are strongest together, creating an unbreakable bond of balance and harmony as each day passes. The sun, representing the daughter, shines with great strength and growth as she discovers her true self. As she embodies her authentic self, she is supported by the intuition and emotion of her mother, the moon. Although they each face obstacles in life and find themselves lost at times, they are always able to reconnect and embrace the hardships life presents, fighting through them together. Just as there is light in life, there’s also darkness, though it may not always have bad intentions. Without this balance, life would feel confusing and incomplete. The relationship between a sun and moon isn’t only seen between a mother and daughter, but also in other relationships such as friendships and romantic partnerships. Surrounding yourself with someone who brings positivity and peace into your life is important to admire and appreciate. What this piece contributes to the Honeycomb Project is an invitation to reflect on the connections we have with others and how they resonate in our lives, as we often overlook and forget who we’re surrounded by. Remembering who we have by our side is essential, as life can throw unexpected curve balls. Tomorrow is never promised — let your loved one know how much you appreciate them and what they mean to you.
