The sculpture is completed when a light shone on this assortment of objects reveals its purpose, in the form of a shadow. Light and shadow alone compose this instant portrait. Each sculpture utilizes a material that might have been discarded. These objects are given purpose when light is projected on them to reveal a hidden image.
