During a total eclipse, the period that the Moon covers the Sun and pitches the Earth into total darkness lasts up to 7.5 minutes.

Efo Sela is immersed in a long eclipse- total darkness. It is no longer a fleeting period in his life. It is a time during which he confronts his existence within the bigger cosmos. The sliver of light behind the sun and the diamond ring statically serve as a helpless yet hopeful reminder of things to come.

Confounding science, this long eclipse, disrupts the circadian cycles, rhythms and flows and programmes of human activity. To ground our helplessness, many cultures who associate the darkness with death, doom, negativity find ways to bridge earthly people with the mystic gods who they believe rule the universe. Spirits become conduits between worlds inviting people to pacify the angry gods with rituals, sacrifices and convey messages to draw their attention to the imbalances, injustices and cruelty they may have caused.
