Intro
For our shadow box assignment, we were asked to create or assemble an assortment of items that represent some significance in our lives. I knew from the outset that I wanted my piece to have something to do with gaming, but it wasn't until I had considered my tumultuous relationship with the pastime over the years that I decided on a theme and composition that I was satisfied with. The composition would be a barren painted background populated by a few question-mark blocks, a well-known symbol in gaming. 3mm LEDs would be placed inside each block to give a glowing effect which would add some visual interest.
