Restless Star

Every eleven years, in a cycle as old as time, the Sun reaches the peak of its activity. Beyond the spectacle of extraordinary sunsets and auroras, solar storms can disrupt Earth’s magnetic field, threatening the technological systems that sustain contemporary life—from satellites and telecommunications to navigation, aviation, and critical infrastructures.

Restless Star explores this invisible force and its profound consequences. From ancient myths of creation to the latest advances in space science, the project traces humanity’s enduring relationship with the Sun, investigating how solar flares shape both the biological and technological equilibrium of our planet.

Developed through visual research, journalism, archival materials, and scientific collaboration, Restless Star is the first chapter of an ongoing investigation into the fragile bond between Earth and its star. As these words are being read, that relationship is already unfolding.
