Stella Ignition

Stella Ignition is a photographic project exploring humanity’s enduring relationship with the Sun.

Through themes of curiosity and wonder, capture and containment, promises and prophecies, the work examines how ancient acts of solar reverence find new expression through contemporary technologies. Moving between solar power and nuclear fusion, the project considers whether our technological ambitions represent a departure from past forms of worship, or their continuation.

Centred on the Sun as both a source of life and a symbol of possibility, Stella Ignition asks us to reflect on the pace, purpose, and philosophies that shape our visions of the future.
