Over the weekend of 10–12 may 2024, earth was struck by the largest solar storm in more than a decade. while many enjoyed colourful auroras lighting up earth’s protective atmosphere, spacecrafts had to endure incredibly strong solar winds and electromagnetic radiation.

Created during this very weekend, this series of sculptures / amulets refers to the apocalypse as a solar storm capable of destroying satellites in orbit and de-magnetizing all technology, potentially annihilating the activity produced by a strong artificial intelligence (AGI). “Apocalypse” has come to be used popularly as a synonym for catastrophe, but the greek word apokálypsis - from which it is derived - means revelation. 

Suspended under rays of light piercing the darkness, these ceremonial objects made of marble and gold recall magnets for solar storms. The alchemical aspect of this work series is rooted in egyptian funerary rituals and infused with renaissance lyricism, invoking the beginning of a new era of humanism and deep ecology.
