It's interesting to see different interpretations of the Allegory. In Philosophy we looked at it as the chained people being the general mass of the population, obviously, whose perceptions are skewed, just like you said. But we focused more on the one who ventured out of the cave into the blinding sunlight as being...an enlightened one, an intellectual who strays from dogma, from just accepting those shadows as reality and judging everyone from them. Of course our teacher was like, "How about we all draw what we think the cave looks like" which garnered several bad pictures with groups of stick figures but this is a very interesting interpretation and piece. I admire anyone who is inspired by literature or anything that came before him/her; it encourages others to expose themselves to classic literature, philosophy, older artworks, etc. rather than just tv and daily life. Really anything that strays from dogma I enjoy. I hate to just accept what is put before me...I want to find my own truths :-P
Well that was a roundabout way of saying nice work. Have you thought about putting a lightsource inside the cube itself? I mean, that would stray from the Plato reference since there was only one wall with shadows in the allegory but....
What made you choose Genesis to actually paint on there?

Heh, I have to do this in RS. In some ways I wish I didn't have to study it, because that means it's turned into an acedemic dredgery. I'd prefer to discover it myself. But then I might not have come across it in the first place...hmm.
Anyway this is really nice and is a new interpretation of the allegory which I like. Well executed.

I love the composition of the tryptic, luv, but the middle panel appears needs some color correction. the red around the light looks like lense flare, and although you have anologly captured that, i think making the light a bit more cool rather than warm would have a cool effect, like a calming green. I apreciate the use of genesis.

It's an instalation really where you get to wave the light across the cube and get the shadows to dance maybe when I get it back you can try it out... I didn't really want to mess much with the still images but I will think about that more.
he saw the light and it was good, God divided the light from the darkness
