艺术家杰森·拉特利夫通过一些简单的阴影想象力的创作来展示孩子们的异想天开的思维，他把这组作品命名为“超级背影”，孩子们都有一个成为超级英雄的梦想，如热门的电影系列蝙蝠侠、钢铁侠、蜘蛛侠等等，这些虚构的人物给了孩子们无限的遐想。

Artist Jason Ratliff illustrates the power of imagination through something as simple as a shadow. His whimsical works feature children posing, as their exaggerated silhouettes take on the fantastical appearance of superheroes like Batman, Ironman, and Spider-Man. These fictional characters, created in a colorful and low-poly style, represent dreams and goals. "It’s about how a kid can be anything they want to be," Ratliff says of his aptly-titled series, Super Shadows.

Originally, the artist had created a single piece titled Hero, which depicts a young boy casting a sturdy "Superman" shadow. Without any real intention of expanding on the series, the incredibly positive response this one illustration received encouraged Ratliff to create an entire collection around the interpretive idea of children with lager than life aspirations.
