Eclipse~Shoku~

The "eclipse" is a photograph of the night-blooming cereus, which is originally a white flower, dyed black by utilizing the inversion of colors imprinted on the retina.
This black night-blooming cereus, which doesn't exist in reality, expresses not the tangible beauty of the flower itself, but the invisible presence and aura that lingers behind it. Just as a lunar eclipse brings to light the Earth's shadow, which is normally invisible, I created this series of "eclipses" with the hope that they will serve as a catalyst to bring to light the "invisible things" lurking deep within our hearts
