The sun (太陽) is the closest star to the Earth.
 
It descends upon us with a sense of vastness that governs the universe, appearing warm and gentle, yet at times extending outward with a sharpness like shards of glass, piercing and intense. The sun also hovers around us as a powerful force that seems capable of melting all things, while simultaneously taking on the presence of a watcher that observes without distinction between day and night.
 
This work expresses an extreme emotional state in which everything seems to melt away on a sweltering summer day. Like the wings of Icarus in Greek mythology, it reflects the idea that human desire causes everything on Earth to melt, and even the sun itself—responsible for this melting—dissolves in the process.
