A visual interplay of light and darkness.
YIN & YANG
A love story.
陰陽
“On each end were Lovers,
The Sun and the Moon, Yin and Yang,
Longing to be together, They chase the shadows of each other,
And just for a moment the moon passes the sun,
And the earth goes dark.”
-Inspired poem
Yin & Yang is a visual inter-play on the natural balance of opposite energies. Light and darkness, day and night, the sun and the moon, man and woman. It explores how contrary forces may actually be complementary and give rise to each other as they interconnect.
Inspired by the Chinese folk tale of YIN & YANG “The Weaver Girl and the Herder”. The movement of the graphics in this artwork is created to mimic lovers longing for each other, but can never meet. They chase each other, like the sun and the moon, and if they meet, the earth will go dark,
just like an eclipse.
