Silhouettes have been widely used in different fields as a simple yet striking visual technique. Their ability to convey recognizable shapes without details makes them a valuable tool. One of the earliest and most fascinating applications of silhouettes is in shadow theater. By moving puppets behind a screen, performers bring stories to life through projected shadows. Early films also relied on silhouettes for dramatic effects. Even today, directors use them to create mystery and suspense.
