you wake up,
our sun shines high in the sky,
you feel the light gently touches your face.
listen to the sun’s wisdom, it whispers to you.

By observing and tracing various sun worships and icons of solar deities the project looks at our emotional
relation with the sun, and using symbolic language and attempts to embody it, bringing the primaeval essence
of the sun back into our lives. Cast in egg-yolk and collagen biopolymer, the material links the object to
the mythological motif of world egg and the golden womb, which is the source of all life and creation;

Solar Idols
are the translation of the research.
taking shape in ancient/modern object symbiosis, - an artifact from an unknown place and an unknown time,
and yet radiating the warmth and feelings that are oddly familiar, positive and comforting.
each Solar Idol is an unique wetware artwork made from biomaterial;
each iteration is alive, ages, changes, and varies visually from each other.
