Pointing at the Moon is a commissioned work for the exhibition Space City: Art in the Age of Artemis at Asia Society Texas in Houston. The following is the wall text that accompanied the work:

The two large paintings hanging in the center of the space depict the near and far sides of a full Moon. The surfaces of the Near and Far sides are constructed from a patchwork of fabrics evoking the composite satellite images that now give us detailed, high-resolution maps of the lunar surface. The scale of these works is intended to evoke a sense of closeness, understanding, and awe. The Moon, our constant companion, endlessly shifts through its phases while maintaining an unwavering rhythm. Though we have never understood the moon as well as we do now, so much of it remains a mystery.

The accompanying paintings (called Portals 1-7) further explore our evolving perception of the Moon, each a recreation of a historical depiction of Earth's only natural satellite. Like fingers pointing at the Moon, these works symbolize our enduring relationship to this celestial body. Notably, one painting in the series breaks from this theme, instead recreating an image of the portly Buddhist monk Hotei by Fūgai Ekun (1568-1654).
