Imploding Sun
It explores the journey of a mythological woman with a unique characteristic: illuminating skin. In her quest for self-discovery and a connection with space, she embraces her true nature as a sun-like being. Similar to the way sunspots, active spots on the Sun, expand and contract while moving across its surface, her birthmark/sunspot on her skin stimulates her journey of accepting transmorphism. This supernatural self-discovery leads to a different space where whe unveils her unique traits.
The artwork encompasses a wide range of spaces, from the vastness of the universe to the depths of her inner self. Through this exploration, the video delves into the realm of emotions and the process of accepting one’s own existence.
