A little shadow play at the “Under One Moon” art exhibit in San Jose. Various children’s artwork of the moon was projected on the wall of the interactive galley exhibition.
There was a quick interchange between projected pieces on the wall. It became a fun artistic challenge as I aimed to match the energy of the art with my silhouette. My photographer, Anthony Lê commented, “Some artists create art. Some artists become a part of the art.” This impromptu photo shoot was that indeed.
All of life is a mixture of light and shadows. Joy and grief. Contentment and longing. Safety and adventure.
That same morning, when I drove home after a huge thunderstorm, the sun peeked out, creating a rainbow stretching across the sky. It was a tangible reminder that beauty comes from the intersection of sunshine and rain, light and shadows.
It’s up to us to dance between both- fully immersing ourselves in that playful space.
