"Totality"
Photograph of the Solar Corona during Total Eclipse
Archival dye-sublimation on brushed aluminum
Limited Edition of 10 | Signed and numbered by Justin Shekoski
Taken at the precise moment of totality on April 8, 2024, Totality captures one of the rarest and most ethereal phenomena visible from Earth: the solar corona. Only during a total solar eclipse does the Sun’s outer atmosphere—normally hidden by its overwhelming brightness—emerge in full expression, forming a radiant halo of filamentary light that extends far into the void.
Invisible to the eye under ordinary skies, the corona is a revelation of structured chaos: delicate, ghostly, and immense. In this image, the Sun is transformed from a blinding star into a blackened disc, encircled by the soft architecture of magnetic fields and ionized plasma. The result is a singular moment suspended in darkness—a minimalist contrast between celestial geometry and cosmic texture.
Printed on brushed aluminum, Totality radiates a quiet luminosity, echoing the elusive brilliance of the corona itself. The metal surface enhances contrast and detail, giving the image a sculptural quality that shifts subtly with the viewer’s perspective.
A meditation on impermanence, rarity, and cosmic alignment, Totality is part of a series examining solar phenomena as natural events of artistic consequence. Each print is crafted to museum archival standards and intended for long-term display in fine art collections.
