     The above piece revolutionizes the effect and atmosphere that dark images usually give. It (Shadow Dancer) gives the viewer the feeling that only bright colors can give - to attract people and to stay them attracted all throughout. I easily fall in love with this piece since the first time I saw it and it never fails to attract me over and over again. With the combination of the woman's body language and the gentle touch of dark color, I must say that the overall concept is breathtaking! So dramatic, so full of energy and so unbelievably eye-catching! 

Beyond the Usual:

     Shadow Dancer gives us a very innovative kind of concept that can be included in our list of fantasies - to dance differently! It gives us the idea of dancing with our own shadow, with our own fear, and with our own limit. In this piece, dancing can simply be attributed to a movement in parallel and in accordance with a certain entity - in other words, to go on with the flow. 

    Dancing with our own shadow gives us the ability to know our own self and our own capability as a person. Knowing our own self is a way of knowing and appreciating our own unique traits.

     Dancing with our own fear lets us realize that we have our own sets of feelings and that we are capable of producing and inflicting fear to others as much as others can do the same to us. It is in fear that we are able to wake up from the reality that we are only humans and that we need God. 

    Dancing with our own limits gives us the idea that we are weak in nature and that we always strive to develop ourselves in order for us to become a much better and stronger person. It is in developing ourselves positively that we can find our own sets of opportunities. We are given the ability to reset our boundaries and to redefine our given limitations.  

     Shadow Dancer has all of these concepts that can be considered as a guiding principle that would help us improve ourselves.
