A luminous human silhouette emerges from a dense constellation of tiny circular light points, each one a pinhole projection of the sun captured directly onto photographic paper. Bucklow's large-scale photogram forgoes the camera entirely, instead using a handmade figure-shaped vessel punctured with thousands of holes to burn the solar image onto Cibachrome material. The result is a glowing, otherworldly form that evokes both scientific inquiry and spiritual transcendence, suggesting the human body as a vessel of cosmic energy.
