Shadow Art

Guess who created this art?

To me, it looks like the face of a man—his cheek, mustache-covered upper lip, nose, forehead, and hair. What do you see?

The mattresses I hung to protect them from rats cast this shadow, creating an unexpected piece of art.

So, who created this shadow art? Circumstances did. The moral of the story: Even in adversity, we can still contribute something meaningful and creative for others to enjoy.

But if you cannot see the art yet understand the message, then perhaps you have never faced adversity—neither to create nor to appreciate such shadow art born from challenging circumstances.
