Description
Eclipse is about justifying harmful actions or values in order to fulfil a "higher" degree of morality. The insects are intended to incite a feeling of repulsion in the viewer, similar to that experienced by those who have been indoctrinated with malignant shame. The bright colors and textures of the insects are intended to cause the viewer to second-guess whether their initial response is justified. On a closer glance, we see that the insects are beautiful and dreamy. The title “Eclipse” refers to the act of obscuring an aspect of yourself, justified by the desire to conform to a higher principle. The composition is intended to remind the viewer of the process of decomposition, a parallel to the loss of self experienced when we sacrifice who we are, for who we are taught we “should be”.
