This project begins with shadows as a way of collapsing three dimensional forms into flat, shared contours. Those flattened figures are then remapped with textures and materials, producing projected outputs that are no longer just shadows, but new surface images generated through interaction. The interest of the project lies in this double transformation, first through projection and flattening, and then through mapping and reinterpretation. From this base, the system can operate through direct texture overlay, material behavior, or possible artifact generation.
