Khepri

Khepri

God of creating – rebirth- morning sun
Becoming into being daily
I die again and rise again and again

With every death comes a re-birth.
Loss results in abundance.
The sun sets every night and comes up every day.
An endless cycle of death and rebirth

Khepri is a material meditation on the cycle of life and death. Khepri, also referred to as dongbeetle, represented rebirth in ancient Egypt. Holding this history, Ebti believes the lightbulb in the space represents the essence of her late father’s spirit —a mark of rebirth. Informed by her family’s making-traditions and antique gallery, she incorporates relics that attempt keep cultural and personal memory close with a deep understanding that loss is inevitable.
