black isn't exactly a color. while white is the combination of all colors, black is the absence of color. and for something so "lacking" in color, it speaks absolute volumes. i don't feel like black is depressing or sad at all. i think it's sophisticated and chic, edgy and bold. black can also be incredibly elegant...but in a different way than white. black is mysterious. and when you wear it or decorate with it that bit of mystery is what gives black a little something that's hard (if not impossible) to pinpoint...but draws you in nonetheless.

these breathtaking paper sculptures were created by Daniel Sean Murphy. i've always been amazed at what people can do with merely paper, imagination, and a whole bunch of determination. i've been seeing a lot of paper cut-outs lately, but paper sculptures are entirely different. with their clean lines and elegant contours, these pieces almost look like three dimensional shadows.
