Fruit Bowl Shadow

Photograph of fruit in a blue bowl where the shadow cast looks like a rabbit on white background.

The original phrase, “beyond a shadow of a doubt,” implies something valid or legitimate. An example, “The jury needs to be convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt to make a decision.” A shadow of a doubt would mean someone was still not entirely convinced. The picture displayed here plays with that concept by introducing a visual shadow of a doubt. The fruit bowl cast a perfect silhouette of a rabbit; however, we can see no actual rabbit. The fruit is oddly arranged to cast the rabbit shadow. The image presents a literal shadow doubt making its viewer examine more closely.
