Have you ever seen the Solar Eclipse Helianthus annuus🌻? Its black center, surrounded by golden brown petals, mirrors the eclipse's magnificence on Earth. I made this artwork to commemorate today's Total Solar #Eclipse2024 —a rare alignment of sun ☀️ , moon 🌕 , and Earth 🌏.

🐺🌕 The Wolf Moon, which happens in January, first full moon every year. This moon will occur on today.

During this time, winter gets stronger, and people tend to stay indoors. The cold nights around this full moon have been important for spiritual connections for a long time.
