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 was developed with reference to the sun paintings of Edvard Munch. By studying how he perceived and represented the sun, the work focuses on expressing the emotions felt from the sun through the directional qualities of brushstrokes.
