“Eclipsed Life” is a reflection on living in the shadows that are cast by often-corrupt societal systems. The obscuring of light that occurs in an eclipse also suggests the state of isolation resulting from the deprivation of self-worth. The story then becomes about finding our own lights from within to maintain our sanity and find our own coping mechanisms. The work thus hints at evolving out of the power dynamics in place and constructing clear mindsets that allow us to reimagine the system.
