Eclipses is a kinetic work that seems to come alive according to the movement of the viewer. The sun and the moon take turns eclipsing in a ballet of oppositions. The use of the circular motif, in its very simplicity, represents the planet and the atom, the large and the small, the zero and the cycle, the void of the pupil that the light fills.
