About the artwork
An homage to the largest full supermoon of the year, this video forms part of Niceaunties' ongoing full moon video series, typically created under the influence of each moon’s energetic influence. Astrologically, this full moon in Aries is considered powerful, signifying major shifts and new beginnings. Inspired by the sight of wispy clouds that resemble angel wings drifting across the moon, the video presents a series of surreal collages, rich with celestial themes and references to an earlier Niceaunties video "Auntie Side of the Moon" (2023) as well as David Bowie’s iconic music and documentary. Symbolic elements such as moon angels, ethereal vibrations, and splitting headaches populate this visual narrative, marking Niceaunties' first experiment with KlingAI.

Niceaunties is a contemporary artist and designer based in Singapore. Drawing inspiration from the influential women in her family and the distinct 'auntie culture,' her work explores themes of ageing, beauty, personal freedom, and everyday life through AI and digital art. Her life experiences and architectural training inform the conceptual basis of her pieces, while her focus on the nuanced behaviours of 'aunties' highlights the culture prevalent in Asian communities.
These women, embodying a spectrum from strange and funny to mean and kind, profoundly influenced the artist's early life and creative narrative, laying the foundation for the unique storytelling of "Niceaunties." Exploring themes like aging, beauty, personal freedom, and the nuances of everyday life, Niceaunties expresses her vision through the mediums of generative and digital art. Her creations are marked by an amalgamation of surrealism, fantasy, and the vibrant aesthetics of kawaii culture.
