Artist Luke Jerram's sculpture, Helios, depicts the sun at a 1:200 million scale. After debuting in Greenwich, it will now be showcased in Osterley Park. The piece is designed to allow viewers to safely explore its intricate details, drawing inspiration from NASA's imagery. Accompanied by a unique soundscape, Helios aims to offer an immersive experience that emphasizes the sun's significance to life and wellbeing. Jerram hopes audiences will find joy in experiencing the artwork across various locations in the UK.
Helios provides a safe opportunity for the public to get up close to, and inspect, its extraordinarily detailed surface including sunspots, spicules and filaments.
I hope that the soundscape, lighting and sheer scale of Helios will combine to make an extraordinary and uplifting experience for the public.
