As global temperatures rise and energy costs soar, ‘Sunny Side Up’ casts a spotlight on the sun as a free and sustainable power source. This playful project delves into the ingenious sun-powered techniques people around the world use to cook food and heat water, blending creativity with sustainability in every frame. Through its vibrant storytelling, ‘Sunny Side Up’ serves as a joyful reminder of the sun’s potential, and human ingenuity, to craft delicious, innovative possibilities.

Captured for the group exhibition 'Over Here' with the artists at RARE & Trayler, where creativity met curiosity, and we explored the beautifully unexplored.

Fresnel Fried Egg
On a hot summer's day, place a cast iron pan under the focused sunlight of a Fresnel lens or magnifying glass. Once the pan heats up, you can fry an egg - right on the sidewalk.

Slow Cooked Solar Chilli
With mirrored panels bouncing sunlight around, a solar cooker heats up just like an oven - perfect for slow-cooking meals over the span of a sunny day.
