Shadows & Light

This collection is based on my visual attraction to shadows created on walls when light passes through windows and household objects. During my struggle with depression, I spent hours in bed gazing at the different shadows on the wall. The print in my designs is made from a photograph of shadows that I clicked from bed, while struggling to get up. The collection’s playful designs also represent coming out of the struggle, finding hope and joy again.
