Day 31 - shadow

"Make something ephemeral. Can you create something using material that will dissipate quickly, like soap bubbles, smoke, butter on a griddle, or cream in coffee?"
Merriam-Webster defines "ephemeral" as: "1, lasting one day only. 2, lasting a very short time."

I made a shadow.

ephemeral tulip.

It's meant to be the shape of a tulip. Thus, the clothespin on my hand to look like the tulip stamen. Shadows last only a short time, since they depend on a light source. Of course, this was done with a lamp, since it's already dark outside. The point would be better made if the shadow were dependent on the sun, since it is more unpredictable.
