To light an outdoor fire on Ednajden, the Day of the Sun is an ancient tradition. It is believed that this fire gives strength and life to the sun which shines the weakest on this day of the year. The embers are stirred to scatter sparks, each one marking the beginning of a new day, a new beginning.


My work is inspired by this tradition. It consists of several elements placed low on the ground, like embers. The sun becomes part of the installation through its reflection.
