Inspired by shadow art from Diet Wiegman, I decide to create an art piece based on sculpture and shadow. The project functions similarly as Wiegman’s which a strong light source is used to project shadow of the sculpture on a wall.
Wiegman’s shadow art all have very complex forms and that will be too much to achieve in this short period of time; therefore, the resulted shadow of this project will be relatively simple.
In Wiegman’s pieces, the original sculpture usually don’t have a particular meaning, and they are just random shapes. To make my project more interesting, I’ll try to give the sculpture some sort of shape or form, but maybe the reason why Wiegman didn’t do it is because it’s quiet difficult. The material I expect to use is some kind of clay.

hope I can actually make something like this
or some Cthulhu monsters
Backup plan: if the first one does not work, I’ll just build a lamp out of LEDs. (yeah that’s it)
