Shadow

Rook Floro

2011

My sculpture/performance piece is inspired by Carl Jung’s psychological theory about the shadow. It concerns with the repressed ideas, weakness, and desires of oneself that the conscious mind refuses to acknowledge. It represents my ‘shadow’ which involves my hidden desires to be different and become perfect in my own right. We always feel the pressure to be perfect by everything around us such as the media, social network, advertisement, friends, and family. I’m sitting here casting my ‘shadow’.

I'm in awe with this installation, how he being true to himself and how he interpret it into a very beautiful installation. It is indeed true how we often wanted to be someone that is not us because of the social media pressure. Or because we want to give certain impression to that particular group, people or audience. This way we often become pessimistic, sad and inside we torture our self. Without conscious we become further and shut down everybody else. It is unhealthy to pity our self.
