The inspiration
If you would have stepped on a scale on the moon it would show your weight minus 83.5%!! For example, if you weigh 70kg your weight on the moon will be 11.5kg. But regardless of having very little gravity, it still influences your world's gravity GREATLY!

Never think influence is a small thing!

The moon plays several important roles, such as stabilizing the tilt of our orbit, causing seasonal changes, aiding nocturnal animal navigation and influencing the ocean's tide. Causing thousands of cubic meters of water to shift during low and high tide.
Never think YOUR influence is a small thing.

Thousands of small little cubes clutter together on screens also called pixels Influence us each day... Maybe each hour. We're pursuing virtual wisdom, advice, romance, adventure, friends, enemies and sex. You name it. Just type in the experience and it is yours effortless.

Nature isn’t there to be scrolled through on the comfort of a couch leaving fingerprints on a screen or remote control. Make time to leave your footprints in the sand, dirt, mud, and snow, for heaven’s sake if you dream big the moon, and someone’s life.

The facts
This stone sculpture is carved from Dolerite (volcanic rock). Represents the contrast between natural life and virtual life.

The natural side is fashioned to be a somewhat realistic representation of the moon. With a few of the craters are decorated with silver (soldering) to imitate the divine beauty that can be encountered in nature.

The other cubicle side is not exactly moon-shaped but is representative of screens and pixels. Illustrating the lack of virtual experiences. The craters decorated with copper-coloured metal and squares edged on it, add to the theme with copper being a major contributor to the tech world.

Enjoy The Influencer.
