Shadows of Our Selves

 

Shadows of Our Selves

Art Project by Chris Rayn · 2012 - 2016

As each day draws to a close, the sun nears the horizon, shadows grow longer, and the world of bright daylight disappears into darkness. People rush home, enjoy the last sunlight with their families, they smile, they scold, they wonder, they hope - and with them, their shadows, a lifelong companion. When reality is turned upside down, this shadow world comes to life.
