If you could make a dreamy sky-scape that would fuse together all the elements of the starry night sky, the sun, and the earthly atmosphere, you would undoubtedly come out with something similar to this graphic, Solar Eclipse. Its focus is a simple sun image that is being surrounded and overtaken by a host of other visual objects and even the words solar eclipse. The eclipse, as an event, has fascinated scientists and mystics alike for centuries, even for millennia. As the sun suddenly is blocked completely by the nearer moon, those in its path experience total darkness for several minutes until the vibrant ring of colour emerges back, plunging the world back into day.
Total darkness during the day is a phenomenon that shows up in many ancient texts, and even now, although we can now predict the exact times and places of full solar and lunar eclipses, they still hold a measure of mystic fascination to them. They inspire a sort of awe and a feeling of impermanence that can overwhelm the unprepared onlooker. They are a fabulous reminder of the fact that humans are not in control of every aspect of their environment. No matter how advanced science and technology become, they will never be able to make the magic a solar eclipse vanish.
This graphic does appear somewhat like a dream, much like the world seems during an eclipse. When everything suddenly goes dark, it takes on a surreal feeling, and becomes a landscape of myth and the timeless infinite. This design is a calm, yet impression making depiction of one of the most prized celestial event in human consciousness.
The style is fresh and cool, with a little injection of modern flair to make it a completely unique graphic that would be a great addition to any wardrobe. Wearing an article of clothing with a graphic like this is equivalent to attiring yourself in clouds and sky as well as wrapping yourself in the sun and moon. An all around great design, it is infused with the best of classic and modern elements all at the same time.
