"Moths represent something deeper and mysterious. The Moths are a symbol of the "underworks", a hidden or subterranean world that is not easily accessible, and the moths symbolise a connection to this world.
My imagination is sparked by the idea of where the "live and the dead come across," the metaphorical meeting point between life and death, where the boundaries between the two are blurred or even nonexistent. The moths, with their ability to move between light and darkness, life and death, are seen as intermediaries or messengers between these two realms.
The "another moon" is the meeting point, a place of heightened symbolism and significance, perhaps even a spiritual realm. The moon is often associated with mystery, change, and the cycles of life and death, and the idea of "another" moon implies a second, hidden layer of meaning waiting to be discovered." - Maki Hino
