Paper ShadowsnnPaper Shadows is a digital collage that transforms an old photograph into a tapestry of memory, identity, and hidden stories. In the center, a woman stands beneath a black parasol, dressed in a vibrant red kimono ablaze with textures, patterns, and scattered flowers: every detail an echo of a past that refuses to fade.nnHer face, barely suggested in minimal lines, is a silhouette that seems to emerge between times, charged with mystery and suppressed emotion. It is not a complete portrait, but a veiled presence, a whisper of what was or what could have been.nnFrom her head emerge black shapes, drawn like masks or creatures: they float, linger, observe. They are not simple shadows, but disguised memories, fragments of unspoken emotions, stories that silently revolve around her.nnPaper Shadows speaks of that which cannot be seen but is felt, of how the past is etched in the present. It is an image of resilience, of grace surrounded by the intangible, of a body that carries not only beauty, but also the weight of what is left unsaid.
