This generative interactive work confronts the fundamental paradox between being and representation, between self and the shadow it casts.
Viewers can click anywhere on the canvas to attempt bringing the vertical element to its shadow. The system immediately responds by creating a new displacement – perpetually maintaining the gap between object and shadow.
This interactive work transforms a philosophical paradox into direct experience. Each click initiates a futile attempt at reconciliation, revealing the inherent impossibility of occupying one’s own projection. The artwork exists in this cycle of approach and evasion, coming to life only through viewer participation.
Without engagement, the work remains dormant. With it, the viewer becomes entangled in a dialogue between intention and impossibility – the very attempt to resolve the discord becomes the conceptual core of the piece.
