The definition of a silhouette is the view of an object or scene consisting of the outline and a featureless interior, with the silhouetted object usually being black.
I find the usage of silhouettes interesting as subject matter. Does it really suggest a featureless interior, or does the outline determine the whole. It emphasises the action, the movement, and makes the viewer change focus to the mass instead of its parts. I question whether it dehumanizes the subject, or creates a weight more than once was.
