Ra
This piece depicts the chaos of creation. The pain and beauty of growth. The tearing down. And the rebuilding. Heat. Blazing heat. A million colors and a million cells. Countless hours passed. Countless hours to come. Birth. Life. Death. Rebirth.
Ra, the Egyptian sun god, would ride his chariot across the sky every day. Every night he would battle the serpentine god of darkness, Apophis, whose goal was to prevent the sun from rising, thus ending the world. Yet every morning his chariot would ride again. Ra was known to be self-created, the creator of the world, every element, all of humanity, and with no small amount of destruction, the generation of all other gods. In this piece you’ll find all of this represented in countless ways. The sun disc is represented in literal circular formation surrounded by thousands of cells, humans, planets, stars, gods. You’ll find color representations of each element scattered throughout the piece; the canvas ripped to show the self-destruction of Ra as he creates. There is dark, dripping formations representing Apophis, all encompassed and ever held in yellow ochre, representing Ra himself.
