“Shadow” can refer both to a literal absence of light and to a metaphorical representation of hidden or repressed aspects of oneself or society. The graduating students of USJ’s Bachelor of Communication and Media explored this topic and present here different approaches using a diverse range of media, including photography, film, and media installations, each uniquely investigating the interplay of light and darkness, hidden truths, and the obscured aspects of our existence. These projects challenge us to confront our own shadows and to consider the ways in which our collective shadows impact our world. We invite you to join us on this journey of self-discovery and societal reflection, as these emerging talents cast new light on the enigmatic shadows that surround us.
