The soul is made up of many components. The Egyptians believed
that the human personality had many facets: Ren (name), Ib (heart), Ka (vital
essence), Ba (personality), Akh (intellect) and Shut (shadow), among others.
Dedicated to the shadow, The Shut takes place entirely on temple walls, and follows a shadow on a journey to reach a state of gazing.
