As a child, I saw shadows differently. They were not only the absence of light, but colors without names, shapes without edges, presences without definition. I would stare at them, feeling something I could not yet explain.

Shadow Research, Day 305, returns to that way of seeing. Through color, darkness, and transparency, shadow begins to loosen from fixed form and become something less certain, yet more felt. The work holds shadow as presence rather than absence, making room for ambiguity, acceptance, and release.
