Eclipse 2 is part of a set of pieces that have been conceptualised from research into the construction methods used in Roman antiquity, in which Miguel Vieira Baptista studied the ways the various stone elements used in columns were joined together at the time. The piece itself is composed of one single block, that while seemingly unfinished by reproducing the shape of an eclipse, continues to function as a container.
