Through the paintings of shadows I explore the fragility and ephemeral, evanescent nature of the corporeal and the physical. Shadows claim a certain objectivity by being a reflection of the material world, but still preserve their transient, short-lived form. The shadows are also unable to resemble the reality in whole, embodying only a silhouette, a delineation, an image whose very existence and form is vulnerable to light and is of a momentary nature, dissolving into oblivion in darkness. Not defining themselves and manifesting merely in a fragile interaction with the vicious outer world, shadows are of particular interest to me and make me think of how uncertain, fragile and delicate their origin and it’s substance are.
