Symbolism
A radiant sun shines over a wall lined with sunflowers. A joyful child rides a white horse, arms outstretched, holding a red banner. Everything is bright and open, nothing hidden. The image represents pure joy, warmth, and the confidence that comes from simply being yourself.
✦ A word from The Sun: Let yourself shine. Joy is allowed.

The Sun · Reversed meaning
