Child of the Eclipse

Title: Child of the Eclipse

Artist: Shorna Abedin

Medium: Digital Painting / Mixed Media

Year: 2025

In Child of the Eclipse, Shorna Abedin captures the haunting silence of an unseen world — a moment where light and shadow embrace in perfect tension. The silhouette of a child stands before an eclipsed sun, symbolizing the eternal conflict between innocence and oblivion, remembrance and erasure.

The deep black crescent swallows the glowing orange sky like the veil between worlds — a metaphor for the unseen forces that shape human consciousness. The warm hues burn like memory itself, while the figure remains anonymous, representing every soul caught between revelation and disappearance.

This work speaks of identity, loss, and transcendence — of the fragile light that survives even within darkness.
