40 Creative Shadow Art Illusions [Photos]
Shadows are such straightforward things: cast a light on an opaque object, and a shadow of it is thus born. Yet shadows can be manipulated to resemble entirely different shapes from its model, using clever and strategic manipulation of space and light. This amazing and cool artwork will make you look twice and ask yourself: how in the world did they do that?
Admire the creative works of talented artists as they meticulously arrange their masterpieces. Here, we proudly present 40 Illusionary Shadow Arts – illusions of barbed wires and books, hanging acrylic pieces, and jumbled up wooden mess. Prepare for some "what-the…" moments.
