cast shadows
Create dark silhouettes
Cast shadows are the dark shapes projected onto surfaces when an object blocks a light source.
In visual arts, rendering cast shadows accurately creates depth and realism: The cast shadows fell long across the courtyard in the late afternoon sun.
Figuratively, to cast a shadow is to create doubt or gloom: The scandal cast shadows over his legacy.
