This was one of my projects for my sculpture class. Our assignment was to make a planar sculpture which focuses on the use of light. So, I thought: why not focus on the use of light as a "material" rather than just the physical materials. Having just replayed Pokemon Snap for the lols, the Pinsir shadow key-sign thing came to mind.

So, yeah, turns out that this is an actual art form where unassuming shapes or piles of scrap and junk are manipulated or made so that when a light is cast upon them a perfect silhouetted image is portrayed. I basically did this with the theme of Little Red Riding Hood and the contrast between the version we know today, and the original, morbid Brothers Grimm version, in which Little Red does end up getting eaten by the wolf.
Taking some free story sequencing pictures of LRRH from an online teaching resource (obviously featuring the more modern and cheerier version of LRRH), I pasted each picture, in sequence, on an unassuming shape, leading to the wall, unto which a silhouette of the Grimm ending of the wolf devouring Red would be cast by said shapes. It portrays a sort of "shadows of the past" quite literally, don't ya think? ;P
