..concept
The title of this project, l'ombre, was influenced by the physiological theories of Doctors Sigmund Freud and C.G. Jung, that the mind and personality are separated into a conscious and unconscious, which Jung named the latter the shadow. Within the shadow of our personality exists repressed and underdeveloped aspects of who we are, both positive and negative. The shadow is not exclusively a personal concept but also applies to society as a whole.
This project is an exploration of the repressed and underdeveloped characteristics of the individual and modern society. It is the confrontation with the shadow.
"Unfortunately there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. Furthermore, it is constantly in contact with other interests, so that it is continually subjected to modifications. But if it is repressed and isolated from consciousness, it never gets corrected."
