shadow on a wall
car lights capture barren trees
shadows overlap 🦊❤️
Saturday night we usually have takeout Chinese dinner and watch a movie at my apartment. We were planning on watching the Wim Wender’s movie “Perfect Days” for the third or fourth time. A wonderful movie about a man who cleans toilets in Tokyo and who is in love with trees. As I arrived home with our Chinese takeout, I was struck by the shadows of trees that a car’s lights in our parking lot were casting on my apartment building wall. They were intricate and seemed to darken where the shadows overlapped each other. Fast forward to the movie…. Throughout the movie the main characters dreams were broadcast and they always included blurred images and shadows of trees. Later in the movie someone asked him if when shadows overlap, do they darken at the points where they overlap? It was at that moment that the coincidence of the shadows on my apt wall and the content of the movie hit me. I showed Yulan my picture as I answered the question with my own proof! I just thought it a strange coincidence…. 🦊❤️
