A Shadow Box is like a personal shrine, a multilayered collage of treasured and meaningful images set on lasercut acrylic in an artistic assemblage. These boxes are like little story worlds in themselves, intriguing and playful rabbit holes inside everyday reality.

According to the legend of the sea, it was considered bad luck for a sailor's shadow to touch land before his body does. Other sailors would create a shadowbox for the departing sailor,  which would contain the sailor's "shadow" until he was safely ashore.
