About this work:
I. Photovoltaic - Parker Spiral
II. Sunstroke - Brightest Minds
This piece is inspired by our sun. The "Photovoltaic" section expresses the energizing effect of a sunny day (or more literally, the process of creating power from light). "Parker Spiral" refers to the shape of the sun's extended magnetic field. "Sunstroke" is a reminder of the dangers the sun can pose to us, and "Brightest Minds" celebrates the people who have discovered ways to harness the sun's power for the benefit of humankind.
