The art installation that combines the sun, light, and shadow creates an incredibly deep and dynamic experience. The sun, being a natural source of light, represents the key element of the artwork that can influence the feelings and atmosphere in a space. The use of shading and illumination highlights the shapes and textures that emerge due to the sunlight. The artwork presents a contrast between positive and negative elements of life, further emphasised by the interplay of light and shadows. The apparent dynamics manifest as a result of the power and influence of the sun on people, animals, and plants. The vibrant spectrum of colours symbolises the life energy flowing through the textile installation, filling it with a positive orientation. These hues represent optimism, creativity, and vitality while also serving as a reminder of the cyclical nature of the environment and its changes over time.
