Honoring the Shadow
The
Shadow is a psychological term introduced by the late Swiss psychiatrist
Carl Jung. It is everything in us that is repressed, undeveloped and denied,
both dark and light. The shadow represents all that the conscious person
does not wish to acknowledge within themselves. Jung emphasized the importance
of being aware of shadow material and incorporating it into conscious
awareness. Otherwise we project these attributes onto others.
Honor your shadow by giving it visual form.
All mediums are welcome.
Deadline: December 31 2010.
Artworks will be permanently displayed on my website.
