A Shadow Vessel suggests something that carries what cannot be seen directly. The word vessel has long described more than a physical container, and has been used for ships, bodies, sacred objects, and anything capable of carrying something from one place or state to another. A shadow, meanwhile, exists because something has interrupted the light, making it both an absence and evidence that something is there. In ancient mythology and later folklore, shadows were sometimes understood as reflections of the soul, traces of the dead, or forms existing between presence and disappearance.
