Eclipse

This series is inspired by the colours, patterns, and silences of deep space, distant galaxies, and the shifting textures of celestial shadows.

Each work captures a moment. Just as the moon can briefly cover the sun, or the earth casts its shadow upon the moon, so too do we move through phases: eclipsed, illuminated, and everything in between. An eclipse does not end the sun. Dark moments do not erase the light, but are an inseparable part of our story. Light, even when hidden, endures.

In a chemigram, the image emerges through a play of light and chemicals. As colour and texture slowly unfold, there comes a moment when I decide it is complete. At that instant, the exposure stops and the result is fixed — irreversible and unique. A frozen phase, never to be repeated, like a rare alignment of celestial bodies.
