Oluwatobi Ogundunsin/ Shadow & Light

In Eden in Eclipse explores a quiet struggle between shadow and light. A single lit apple becomes a small sun in the hand, while the serpent rests like memory—suggesting inheritance as much as danger. By keeping the face and body in deep shadow, the image asks viewers to meet it halfway, to decide what to reveal and what to keep hidden. I’m interested in the moment a choice becomes visible, and how one highlight can hold both tenderness and threat.
