Hologram portraying an eclipse; in background is a large green circle; floating above that circle is a larger dark circle, which seems to break the image plane; creator's name and date appear at bottom right; emulsion appears as though it has `shrunk,' in that the right and left sides of the glass work are clear with no emulsion; unknown whether this was intentional when the work was made, or if it is due to emulsion damage.
