The mention of this form of art using the shadows of the hands and body to depict other objects can be found in ancient Chinese texts (A king arranged to have shadowgraphy shows to entertain his sick queen). Till a decade ago, this used to be regarded as an offshoot part of magical performances. The advances in this art form made by Amar Sen and his partner are huge, pushing the art to unbelievable new heights. The introduction of actual personality likenesses with human profiles of anatomical similarity and total cinematic shadow presentations complete with soundtracks and storyboards were introduced and refined. The current potential of this art as a new, unique, and novel medium of expression has been untapped, and the art at its peak is all set to die if no more practitioners of this art are created.
