Within the vast expanse of the Bitto universe, every character carries a story waiting to be told. Some of these stories unfold quietly, away from the main path. They emerge through what the artist calls “side quests,” small and experimental detours that open space for curiosity, play, and reflection. These moments allow us to step into the more intimate corners of Bitto’s imagination.
SUN RISING is one such detour.
Centered on Sun, a recurring character in Bitto’s work, this exhibition follows a simple but persistent idea: the dream of flight. Throughout the series, Sun appears among paper planes and sky-bound gestures, suspended in a moment of possibility. The works carry a sense of movement and lift, as if each small action could lead somewhere unexpected.
For the artist, flying has long existed as a personal dream that felt just beyond reach. It becomes a metaphor for the aspirations we quietly carry, the ones that seem too distant or improbable to pursue. Through Sun, Bitto gives form to this feeling. The character becomes both a stand-in for the artist and a companion for the viewer, someone who continues to look upward despite uncertainty.
The title SUN RISING hints at both motion and renewal. It suggests the moment when something begins to lift, the quiet instant before flight. At the same time, it echoes the language of astrology, where the rising sign marks the point of emergence, the way one meets the world. In this sense, Sun is not only dreaming of flight but also stepping into view, beginning a new chapter.
Taken together, the works unfold as a focused visual chapter within the wider Bitto universe. A small orbit within a larger constellation. A spin-off dedicated to the dreamer in all of us, and to the quiet courage it takes to believe that even the most impossible dreams might one day take flight.
