bird cage on a stick with fake flowers in it

This bird cage things is gross. But I found its presence fascinating. When I was exploring the floor I want to somehow add it to my map or disrupt is natural locating on the floor. So I put small squares of paper under it. But I noticed that this brought out the shadows it was casting on the floor and the wall. This photo is taken at another time of day when you can't see the shadow, but its trail is present. I liked how it was a logical system but without the shadow was less understandable.
