It's Only A Paper Moon

"It's Only A Paper Moon"

I never feel a thing is real

When I'm away from you

Out of your embrace

The world's a temporary parking place

Inspired by the popular song It's Only a Paper Moon, originally written by Harold Arlen, E. Y. Harburg and Billy Rose in 1933, I created two papier mache models of an emotionally bitter moon and a hand-made D.I.Y looking rocket. I wanted to create a disgruntled feeling between the two models as if to suggest a sense of longing for the contents of the rocket and an unsatisfied expression for the Moon at the appearance of yet another visitor.
