Solen er placeret i en kompasring af granit. Nord er angivet i sølv, mens de øvrige tre verdenshjørner er i relief.
Solen er formmæssigt inspireret af den faktiske sol og af bronzealderens Solvogn. Ideen bygger på det faktum, at Jorden og dens liv eksisterer i kraft af solen og vil ophøre med at eksistere, når solen brænder ud. Men det er også den inspiration, der ligger i endnu et forår at opleve, hvordan alt liv spirer, gror og fester ved lysets tilbagekomst. Alt suger til sig af lyset.
The Sun has been placed in a granite compass ring. North has been indicated by silver while the other three corners of the world are in relief.
As regards form the Sun was inspired by the actual sun and by the Chariot of the Sun of the Bronze Age. The idea is based on the fact that Earth and life on Earth exist thanks to the sun and will cease to exist when the sun burns out. But it is also the inspiration that you get by experiencing another spring and seeing how life germinates, grows, and celebrates at the return of the light. Everything thrives in the light.
