Shadows

Peace Shadow Project

Here is a remarkable initiative by the Japanese artist Tatsuo Miyajima.

Mindful of the people of Hiroshima vaporized by the atomic bomb leaving only a shadow on a wall, she created the Peace Shadow Project, a website where everyone can send his photo that is converted into a shadow and signed.

The site is a very impressive slide show made by the pictures of all these people gradually transforming into a blue shadow, with a pleasant ambient music. A simple idea, very well realized and arousing a deep feeling.
