I first sketched this work while reading about the letter “O” which arose from the consonant “eyn”, eye, and the corresponding Egyptian hieroglyph wedjat, the Eye of Horus. I can hardly ever escape a myth rabbit hole… Horus was a sky deity and many texts say he contained the sun and the moon which thus raced across the sky when he flew. I began thinking about its duality - it being both sun and moon, light and darkness. I imagined the modern eyn moving from day to night along an arch and I could see no better arc than one on the color wheel. The symbol travels from yellow along the outer hues to orange until it desaturates into brown and lastly gray. And the cycle will continue.
