In the Shade of the Olive Tree panel

About the work

Every shadow is a trace, an imprint of presence. Shadows disclose the invisible side of things: the concealed, the fragile, the secret.

In antiquity the shadow was held to be a second self, a soul binding the earthly to the eternal. In Jung, the Shadow archetype likewise holds both secrets and the possibility of growth.

So here: the shadow of a tree is not merely a play of light but an invitation to consider your own shadow, its gifts and its demands. What hides in the shadows of our memory, our actions, our creative ambitions?

Let the play of the mosaic serve as a reminder — our inner light becomes truly visible only because of shadow.
