Siren

The beauty (the red figures) and the voices(blue ribbons) are pulling you in.The temptations are impossible to resist. You are trying to escape (yellow triangles) but the desire prevails. And then suddenly you get stabbed by a long thin blade. You fall as a sinking ship - slowly but surely.

About the moon

This is Alcoholism. The wineglasses make everything clear, bright and sterile white( bottom). The alcohol is protecting. But the blunt grey reality is still here(the upper left and upper center). The reality puts pressure on the  wineglasses. For sometime it holds, but the basis is very tipsy. In the reality corner some events made things appear upside-down or overturned. There are some glass stains apparently made with blood.
