"This piece is similar to Our Coiled Hearts in that it uses the moire pattern in relation to blackholes, except here I start to incorporate collaged images of my shadow. The background and foreground are either grids or cut out circles of images I’ve taken of my shadow while on a walk, while the middle ground is a color spectrum. The shadow is an idea that has developed rather recently, however I think I am using it similarly to the arrow. The shadow being a symbol, like an arrow is, that could be used during navigation as proof of existence. Sunlight from behind me casts a shadow on the ground I am walking on while I lived in West Michigan."
