Il Sole
Installation, Fantasy / Visionary, 20x21x8cm
The iconography I've chosen to represen the Sun merges the representation of the planet in Pablo Picasso's "Guernica" ( the light bulb) and the one chosen by Akhenaton - Amenofi IV in the epoch of the Ancient Egypt he ruled as a Paraoh ( XVIII dinasty).
Akhenaten tried to bring about a departure from traditional religion, yet in the end it would not be accepted. He implemented a religious reform, often and clumsily liken to a monoteism, establishing the supremacy above all the Gods ( but never ever erasing them) the Sun God, Aton Ra. His religion was called the religion of the light, based on the "new solar theology", especially studied by Jan Assmann, that can be found in the Afterlife hymns, rituals and books from the XVIIIth dinasty.
Aton Ra was depicted at the moment in which He warms the Earth: the Sun emanates rays that ends with little hands, so it seems that the God caresses and meanwhile blessesall living creatures.
