Story Behind This Piece

Inspired by the song "You Are My Sunshine," sung by Logan’s mother, this piece evokes warmth, love, and safety, filling the heart with light. The sun, symbolized alchemically as Sol, represents the intellect and the self, shining outward to illuminate our true essence. Gold, diamond, ruby, and topaz are all symbols of the sun, while its planetary symbol—a circle with a dot—signifies completion and the Self’s connection to the cosmic whole. In astrology, the sun represents how we express ourselves to the world, with its placement at birth illuminating our unique traits. Across cultures, the sun is seen as both a masculine and feminine force, holding deep significance in many traditions as a symbol of life, power, and vitality.
