What is the shadow if not a dance between light and dark as we go through life? It is the constant flux between two interdependent opposites that balance each other out and coexist in balance and harmony. Having spent almost a decade photographing nightlife, I've been allowed unique insights into how people behave when the lights go out and the music comes on.

This image is about the shadow and how we dance with it, as we venture through life. The blacks and silhouettes in the image is an ever-present reminder that it is acceptable to not know everything all the time.

Shadow Work by Julius Jooste collection image

Shadow Work was created as a way for me to convey the insights I've had while finding my voice as a career creative.

The term "shadow work" was initially coined by Dr Carl Jung. He proposed that the mind had the ability to take what we were most ashamed of and hide it out of sight of the conscious mind in space referred to as The Shadow.

Jung went on to explain that much of mental anguish stems from the tension brought on by suppressing one's shadow. He proposed that addressing, processing and integrating one's shadow, would result in a richer, more authentic way of experiencing what it means to be alive.

It is often considered that when Jung asks us to integrate our shadow, he is asking us to accept and come to terms with the femininity that resides in each of us.

I’ve created each piece to be used as an awareness cultivator while undergoing periods of change and uncertainty.

May it be your beacon as you navigate through times of transformation and growth.
