Burnt by the Sun
While watching an extreme weather event in America on TV, my 10 year old son asked me, “What if the sun goes out?’ After discussion this, I asked him,’ what happens if our human sun, our soul goes out?’ An ongoing series, Burnt by the Sun was inspired in part by the story of Icarus, in Greek mythology, son of the inventor Daedalus who perished by flying too close to the Sun with waxen wings, like human curiosity and the reality of artificial intelligence.
Photographed in part at a night fun run, ultraviolet light has an otherworldly feeling, everything looks reversed, like a photographic negative. With the greed for fossil fuels turning the world into a furnace and AI replacing jobs, what does the global landscape look like for the youth? Are they angry at the world they have inherited ? Are they angry enough?
