Description
Florence, Italy
The Shadow, is a psychological term introduced by the late Swiss psychiatrist, Dr. Carl G. Jung. It is everything in us that is unconscious, repressed, undeveloped and denied. These are dark rejected aspects of our being as well as light, so there is positive undeveloped potential in the Shadow that we don’t know about because anything that is unconscious, we don’t know about.
The Shadow is an archetype. And what an archetype simply means is that it is typical in consciousness for everyone. Everyone has a Shadow. This is not something that one or two people have. We all have a Shadow and a confrontation with the Shadow is essential for self awareness. We cannot learn about ourselves if we do not learn about our Shadow so therefore we are going to attract it through the mirrors of other people.
Have a pleasing week end

I never thought about the shadows although they always amazed me, but yes, I have always thought that other people are like our reflections, like you well say, reflections in a mirror... and what we don't like in others are things we have to change in ourselves.... I never use to write so much.. LOL Your photo is just like life, people that come and go, some just are crossing by and others we shall never even meet. And ofcourse chasing these shadows it's just the real fun of your work ;O)
