The Sun, My Heart
An evocative installation synchronising visitors’ hearts with solar rhythms, showcased during the London Design Festival 2024.
'The Sun, My Heart' invites visitors to engage with a sensor that responds to their touch, allowing them to create a personalised ‘sun experience’ through a dynamic display of shifting colours.
The experience is a constellation of 77 Sunne lights that mimic the sun’s daily cycle, complemented by a soundscape based on NASA’s solar recordings.
This immersive experience triggers the brain’s theta waves, produced during deep relaxation, inviting reflection about our relationship with the sun and solar energy’s potential.
'The Sun is something holistic; we can feel it. We need beauty and design to make us want to change things. We need to feel it inside.’
