ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Our shadow selves are the versions of ourselves that we do not show society. Just like a flashlight shines a beam into the dark corner of a room and reveals what is there, shadow shines the light of love and compassion into the parts of our lives that we have kept buried and releases them so that we may be free to be our true and divine selves.

The shadow is not darkness. It is a representation of the imbalance of darkness. In having the courage to bring light into these corners of our lives we allow the divine dark and divine light to dance again.

AUTHOR
B. in 1972, X.D. Luo is a self-taught portrait photographer based in southern China. She specializes in using fabric, flower and other seasonal elements to express the feminine beauty and the deep connection between woman and nature, life and season.

Before starting a career in photography, she worked for IBM for nearly 10 years and gained multicultural experiences through international business trips. Nevertheless, due to a lack of interest in business management, she resigned and spent years backpacking off-the-beaten-track, which is the crucial cause and the inspiration of her path in photography.

As an amateur dancer and a yogini, she takes the advantage of her fairly well-shaped body (for her age) by using herself as the main subject to accomplish her own art projects during the COVID-19 lockdown.
