Shadow addresses the oppressive nature that standards of masculinity and the dominant patriarchy has on bodies in western culture. The key figures in this work are the body (dancer) and the outside forces (sand / environment) working against it.
The outside forces represent the restrictions within the patriarchy and it's narrow definitions of masculinity. The body represents one born into a world predefined without its consent. The body struggles as it is consumed by the elements.
The artist wonders what a natural world defined by the bodies would look like rather than the reverse.
