This project is based on a conference on celebrating the principles of Heliocentric theory, based on which a sculpture and a souvenir are designed. The inspiration of the sculpture comes from the ancient Greek mythology, which associates the God of heaven in Greek mythology with each planet in the solar system, such as the sun god represents the sun, the goddess Muse represents Venus, the God of war Mars represents Mars, etc.

The whole sculpture is the shape of the torch, which reflects the combination of modern science and culture and ancient wisdom, and the implication of the continuous reproduction and inheritance of human civilization.

In addition, there are many astronomical elements in the sculpture, such as the Big Dipper reflected by the light in the crystal, and the iron nail details on the planetary orbit represent the vast sea of stars in the universe.

The sun center theory and the implication of human civilization handed down from generation to generation are expressed in the form of gear rotation. At the same time, the rotation of gear is combined with the working principle of watch to make souvenirs both functional and beautiful.
