30 Harsh Realities of Shadow Lover
#NizhalKadhalan series is purely an experiment to convey stories through shadows.
In Psychology, The Shadow represents our alter ego. Our shadow, contains every one of the parts of ourselves that we have attempted to stow away or deny, the parts we believe are not adequate to our family, companions and, in particular, ourselves.
So, what is this Shadow made of?
It is made up of everything that annoys, horrifies or disgusts us about other people or about ourselves. It holds all that we endeavor to avoid those we adore and all that we don’t need other people to think about us or find out about us.
The first thing we need to keep in mind is that we exist within the realm of Duality. In the realm of Duality, nothing can exist without its exact opposite: its alter ego; its doppelganger… its Shadow.
“There is strong shadow where there is much light.”
Why?
Pet Projects can be a great source of motivation for creative people. Its much more than just hobbies. In a time where so many people are talkers and so few are doers, pet projects can be the factor that sets you apart from the rest of the crowd.
Sometimes these projects feel like a time suck. But its a great creative exercise.
For?
Instagram Fest by a renowned photography club in the city called Chennai Weekend Clickers.
“What began as an informal meet between a couple of curious shutterbugs, has grown leaps and bounds to become the largest and the most active photography groups based in Chennai.
We feel that it is our duty to contribute back to the photographic society. As part of that, we have been conducting extremely successful exhibitions for the past 8 years.
This provides a platform to amateur photographers to showcase their pictures in a gallery which would not have been possible for them otherwise.”
