Circa EightyThree

Waxing Crescent moon phase 🌒 said to bring about change and create new opportunities. This is the first illumination of the moon after it’s dark, new moon phase, optimism and fresh starts are one way to interpret this light.

Are you feeling energized by the promise of spring around the corner (hiding behind the snow we’re getting in CT ❄️)? Are you ready to embrace a new opportunity or make a change in your life? What about stepping outside of ourselves and helping those that need our assistance during the invasion of Ukraine?

Big or small, I hope you embrace the light starting to shine around the world with this phase 🌒

I went deep with the impression on this hippo, inspired by the Egyptian faience hippopotamus that resides at the Met, also known as “William the Hippo”. My mom gave me a small replica of this statuette when I was young and I’ve loved it ever since.
