Artist Exhibition - XNR

Today, we have XNR. This artist's work often includes characters from Chinese history and mythology, such as the moon goddess Chang'e and Diaochan, one of the Four Beauties of ancient China.

Moon Goddess Chang'E

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a Chinese holiday celebrating the harvest and family. Common practices during the festival include moon gazing and eating moon pies (which I personally would not recommend).

There are a number of myths behind the holiday, but they all star Chang'E, a woman who takes an elixir of immortality, ascends to the moon, and becomes a goddess.
