Shaping Meaning silhouettes and sense of place

We know we are here because we cast a shadow. (Allegory of the Cave)

     The Shaping Meaning project is about creating work that evokes a sense of place. Through this process, a greater sense of self and connection to one's external environment can be achieved. The image above was created using layers of cut paper. It is one of many ways of expressing the theme of "sense of place" through the use of silhouettes.
