This piece was created in order to show the power of the sun. In the first picture you can see a drum cymbal stand with clamps holding a prism in place. Sunlight passed through the prism which revealed the visible spectrum of light, seen in the second picture, which appeared on a piece of cyano type paper lying on the ground in the shade. Over time, the ultra-violet rays, which are invisible and are next to the visible violet color, created a mark on the paper. The result is seen in the next photo and the framed cyanotype paper. I saw this as a reflection of identity and what I see of my self in the world. Despite our physical presence and appearance appearance, it's our actions and spirit that are the true symbol of who we are.
