Walter Meyer’s unintended and conceptual self-portrait shows his shadow precariously balancing a composition of late afternoon sunlight and shadows against a wintery Kalahari hillside. The artist’s triangular shadow anchors the metaphorical aspects of light and darkness; the yin and yang of the persona - typically a continuous struggle for all of mankind.
