"Helios Spiral"
Composite Photograph: Total Solar Eclipse Phases in Fibonacci Sequence
48” x 72” Archival dye-sublimation on brushed aluminum
Limited Edition of 10 | Signed and numbered by Justin Shekoski
Helios Spiral traces the arc of cosmic rhythm—an unfolding of the total solar eclipse, phase by phase, meticulously arranged in the golden spiral of the Fibonacci sequence. This visual composition merges celestial mechanics with sacred geometry, revealing an underlying harmony between mathematics and the movement of light and shadow.
Each frame in the composite was captured at precise intervals during a total solar eclipse, from the first delicate crescent to the full corona’s radiant flare, and back again. The arrangement is more than design—it reflects a fundamental structure found across nature, from sunflower seeds to spiral galaxies. In this image, the Sun and Moon converge not only in orbit, but in proportion.
Created through painstaking precision and rare astronomical timing, Helios Spiral is the result of months of planning and seconds of alignment. Every image was exposed under exacting conditions, balancing brightness, clarity, and contrast to preserve the fleeting detail of prominences, chromosphere, and shadowed crescents.
Presented as a dye-sublimation print on brushed aluminum, the work takes on a luminous, near-sculptural quality. The metal surface adds depth and quiet reflectivity, echoing the eclipse’s glow with a soft shimmer that shifts with ambient light. It is an image that feels both still and alive—a frozen orbit turned visual incantation.
Helios Spiral is part of a limited series reimagining celestial events through the lens of natural order and minimalist design—where astrophotography becomes a language of elegance, balance, and wonder.
