Moira McElhinney - Statement
Meeting The Shadow - Baggage Unclaimed
The inspiration for Peter Alexander Por’s project came from a desire to comment on our culture....how
individuals handle and most often disown their negative personality traits i.e. denied shadows. In an
oblique way the work is paying homage to Carl Jung and it also addresses issues on our ‘disposable’ North
American way of life.
“That which we do not bring to consciousness appears to us in life as fate.” C.G. Jung
