In Eclipse, Daugherty enacts a quiet passage between states of being. The work unfolds as a meditation on impermanence, tracing the shift from matter to spirit—from embodiment to pure awareness. Within its restrained frame, light becomes both agent and witness, revealing the fragile threshold where physical form yields to energy.

The piece moves without narrative; its language is elemental—shadow, reflection, breath. Through this simplicity, Daugherty captures the stillness that precedes transfiguration: the instant when what was begins to unmake itself, and yet something luminous remains.

“Eclipse” is less about disappearance than about return—the return of being to its essence, and of light to its unseen source.
