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.
 
As a reference for expressing the intensity of the sun, I studied the watercolors of Emil Nolde. In his works, the red sun saturates even the clouds with its intensity, and the light radiating from it is rendered as sharp, pointed white rays.
