Life on a magical farm. Inktober 2025: PHASE II — Waxing Crescent 🌙 Leaf‑Rise Phase 🌱

I’ve been exploring how lunar cycles shape life on Earth —
quietly, rhythmically, almost imperceptibly.
This piece is the beginning of that series.

Every phase of the Moon shifts something in the soil:
in the roots, in the moisture, in the hidden networks that hold life together.
And what happens above ground is always a reflection of what happens below.

This illustration belongs to the waxing‑moon phase —
the moment when energy rises, when sap moves upward,
when plants reach for the light with new strength.
Growth becomes inevitable, almost instinctive.

Beneath the surface, the earthworm appears —
a silent engineer of fertile soil.
They say the richness of the earth is measured in worms,
and it’s true: where they live, the ground breathes.

This piece captures that upward pull,
that quiet momentum the waxing Moon brings.
Soft, cinematic, a little wild —
a small universe responding to the sky.

And this is only one phase.
Each Moon will reveal a different layer of the world beneath our feet.
