Illustration featured on the 17th issue of Brillo Magazine, on the theme of “journey”.
According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, which first began publishing names for full moons in the 1930s in the United States, the full moon in June was dubbed the Strawberry Moon by several Native American tribes to match the short harvest season for strawberries.
Indigenous cultures honoured this full moon and revered this time as a new chapter of abundance, fertility, and renewal. The strawberry moon marked the beginning of a fruitful season, helping them to celebrate the ripening of berries and the bountiful harvesting season ahead.
