The figure stands before a mirror, but instead of a clear reflection, they meet a dark, shadowy silhouette - The shadow self. The shadow self is not a monster but a mystery, the unknown or repressed self, the part of us we often deny, suppress, or fear, the part of us we never want to accept. Still, in this quiet moment of stillness, there is no judgment, no denial, but only recognition; a greeting and a beginning of self-acceptance. Hello, My Shadow self is about courage, honesty, and the journey towards self-integration. It asks the question: What part of myself have I left repressed in the dark? What might happen if I say Hello, My Shadow Self?
