Moonstone Covenant

A series of editorials highlighting the magic and symbolism found within the natural world, exploring the connection between nature and spirituality and presenting nature as a ‘religion’ worth worshipping. Inspired by Jung’s ideas of purification of the self through nature, the shoot pulls on traditional cult imagery and practices, such as scarification of symbols resembling sea microbes to demonstrate total devotion to the natural world. The concept also takes inspiration from feminist environmental author Donna J Haraway and her proposed ideas regarding the ‘Chthulucene’ in which humans live alongside all parts of nature, including the rocks and the water, respecting it as if it were part of us instead of below us or less than us. ‘Fossils’ and mysterious found objects are worshipped as a shrine, highlighting the power of nature as a mystical and spiritual force that can provide answers in the confusion of modern life.
