The Eclipse
Single channel video with sound by Eye Shen
Duration: 6 minutes
The Artist’s mother photographs the flowers in her garden and sends them as daily digital greetings to family and friends overseas. The artwork captures the eclipse of a moon constructed with those flower images. Like the moon, our identities and senses of belonging are in constant flux and just like these flowers, Australia’s cultural fabric is diverse. The blooming moon is a symbol for the hope for a better future and a sign of respect to those who have left their homeland.
