Photo Observation: Shadow

This photo was taken by my roommate, Rachel Gurevich, for her self-portrait project.

Theme: Shadow

Description: A world of complete darkness envelopes the atmospheric haze. A black suffocation takes over as the last sliver of hope and the last trace of light swiftly sneaks away. The pavement, cold to the touch without the warmth of a gentle light, becomes cruel and unwelcoming. Yet, the supporting ground is the only sense of security as everything surrounding you starts to fade into the belly of blackness. Half of you begins to fade into the darkness as well, while the other half is illuminated by the dim glow that could disappear just as quickly. Darkness and light, shadow and form, and wholeness that soon disperses into the half that is now lost. The boundary between the two worlds is revealed.
