About The Artwork
Shadow sculpture in combination with figurative sculpture. The sculpture (figure) is made of plaster while the blanket hanging next to the boy is made of metal. The shadow of the boy on the wall is actually the shadow of the metallic sculpture (blanket). The shadow is clearly visible in normal domestic light. The light bulb is part of the work, placed within the metallic part of the sculpture. The boy is shown shutting his ears, refusing to listen to what his shadow is whispering to him. With this work I wanted to show the relationship between a person and themselves. Even if we don't wish to admit or realize our true emotions they will come on the surface one way or another. Our soul knows what it wants, we just need to listen to it.

Simoni’s body of work consists of three-dimensional and two-dimensional works of various disciplines. However, her shadow sculptures are the ones that has defined her artistic identity. The forms of the sculptures, take seemingly random formations, but when illuminated, they cast shadows of figures on surfaces. These sculptures, are often shaped in the form of nature-inspired elements, such as flowers and trees, however remaining very different from the appearance of their shadow. But it doesn’t stop there. Additional elements such as colour, sound, movement and ready-made objects are added to the works, thus creating a more complete experience for the viewer.
