This body of work is part of the 10,000 years project
“Assuming all forms, golden hued, all knowing,
the final refuge, the one light, the giver of heat
so rises, the Sun, the thousand-rayed, existing in
a hundred ways, the breath of living beings.”
The Upanishads
The light rays of the Sun are created in the burning heart of the planet through a lengthy process of fusion. From birth in the center of the Sun, a photon, the active form of light, takes a minimum of 10,000 years to reach the surface of the earth from which the title of the project is derived.
