Lunar Soap II is an original work in gold leaf on paper, 22 × 28 × 1.5 inches.
The moon occupies the field the way a used bar of soap occupies a dish: round, worn, quietly radiant from use rather than grandeur. The gold that builds it carries texture the way light carries distance, accumulated rather than applied, so the surface reads as both celestial body and domestic object held to the same standard of attention.
The pairing resists hierarchy. The moon is enormous and unreachable; soap is the smallest daily ritual of making oneself clean. Selin's Auruscript practice finds the same material logic in both: things that diminish through contact while somehow becoming more themselves. The black ground does not swallow the form — it holds it, the way night holds what it cannot contain.
One-of-a-kind original. Gold leaf on paper. 22 × 28 × 1.5 inches.
A work about luminosity earned through use, not distance.
