I decided to look up the dictionary meaning for shadow to further understand the term. This bought up some extra idea I hadn’t considered. Here are a few that interested me most.

5. A slight suggestion; a trace.
7. A shadowy or faint image
8. A mere semblance.
13. An inseparable companion.

Could all these ideas of shadow be worked with in conjunction with each other? Or for that matter could all the dictionary meanings for shadow be worked with together to create one final product or idea?

These are some of my own perceptions of shadow:

- A simplified form
- A silhouette
- A secondary image
- Product of a light source
- Only external details
- Artificial or natural
