This work inspired by the classical Yin and Yang symbol aims to highlight the depth of connection and seeming incompatibility. The strict use of black and white to create smooth transitions, harsh contrasts, compositional harmony, and disarray shows how minimalism can be very versatile. There is darkness in the light and vice versa, but beyond that, the interplay between organic and geometric shapes was inspired by existentialist philosophy, questioning the place for human existence.
