BURNT BY THE SUN

While watching an extreme weather event in American TV, my 10 year old son asked me, “What if the sun goes out?’ We discussed the reality of this and then discussed what happens if our human sun, our soul goes out. This is an ongoing series about living in a time of unprecedented change. AI is transforming work. Climate events are intensifying. Political and economic landscapes are shifting rapidly.  What does the global landscape look like for the youth?  Are they anxious and angry at the world they have inherited ? Are they angry enough?  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. Photographed in part at a night school fun run,  ultraviolet light has an otherworldly feeling, everything looks reversed, like a photographic negative.  My media inspiration
