This project is on the relationship between shadow and secrecy. I explored how a secret can be fragile in relation to shadow and how a secret can contain both beauty and ugliness.

I wanted the shadow to portray a cage with roses and thorns surrounding it. The secret would be inside the soft-shadowed cage reflected on the wall which showed how it was locked away, but simultaneously, the secret’s existence was known.

I was actually using two light sources. One you can see hanging in the cage and the other one was behind the camera’s view.

This project was actually a reiteration of a previous shadow project. Although it looks like a lantern, it looks stunning when there’s really bright light source. I went more a lantern appearance because I liked the way it flickered and I wanted the shadows to do the same, to seem fragile.
