Shadow play and identity
My afternoon walk yesterday was, as always, beautiful … and packed with invitations to stray and play. Shadows force questions like Who am I? What is this? and Where do I belong?
Perspective: mini-brain me
Would you settle for this identity: all legs, tiny head?
No secrets: you can see right through me
Goddess or peg doll?
Yeah, I’m a prickly troll
Don’t take a stroll with an old gorse troll
Scarier and scarier, a shadow looming
That’s no bank. That’s me in my doll-troll hair-do. Run!
The troll shows her face and it’s not pretty
Here comes a troll and she’s not a doll troll
Correction: not ugly, just pointy
Don’t be scared: that was only a human woman being silly in the sun
Your comments on shadow play and identity are eagerly awaited. By me, whoever and whatever I am.
Vary interesting experiment.
Just for fun, Sadie! Try it: there’s a challenge.
Okay Rachel, I will.
Evokes childhood memories.😁👍
True. Except for the phone in one hand.
Evokes childhood memories 😁👍
This was a fun read.
It was a fun walk.
I love it! Fun in the sun. Fight the bright. Daylight sprite. Let the child within become the wild with out. Sun and shade = fun in spades. Celebrate the strange. Don’t change.
What a fun, and very clever, thing to do. I’m now hiding behind the settee!
You’re scaring me!
I’m hiding because YOU scared me!
Oh good. So you should.
How fascinating Rachel
And yet so simple 🙂
Yes Rachel 🙂
A brilliant idea – funny and very creative in a way that subverts the conventional view of photographs as vehicles for public image promotion! Radical ideas required currently, methinks …
I was tempted to use the troll as a pr photo for a poster when asked for one yesterday. Next time!
