SUN PIECE INCARNATION

Photons face a significant challenge in traveling from the core to the surface of the Sun. This journey can take up to 160,000 years to complete over a distance of approximately 400,000 miles. Yet once these photons reach the Sun's surface, they travel the 93-million-mile distance to Earth in just over eight minutes. From Earth's surface, A2A energy suppliers harness these solar rays using solar panels and accumulators. This technology converts solar energy into "Sun Piece Incarnation," transforming it into the icy floor of the stadium.

This paradoxal transformation is not a technical feat, but rather a statement on our relationship with nature, technology and energy. The process of converting sunlight into ice symbolizes the delicate balance between heat and cold, light and darkness—an equilibrium that is increasingly threatened by global warming. It reflects on how energy can be captured, transformed, and repurposed in ways that challenge our conventional understanding of natural elements.

The installation serves as a metaphor for human ingenuity and our ability to manipulate natural forces for creative expression while highlighting our responsibility towards environmental stewardship. By turning something as intangible as sunlight into a physical manifestation like ice, Sun Piece Incarnation invites viewers to contemplate the interconnectedness of all things—how energy flows through different states and forms, linking us to cosmic phenomena. This work underscores themes of transformation and impermanence within the context of deep ecology—a philosophy that emphasizes the intrinsic value of all living beings regardless of their utility to human needs.
